Hi,
do you plan to use existing software or do you want to implement your
own stuff?

You find a version that displays a geometry with JavaScript and saves it
as WKT in a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database in Mapbender in the cvs:
(mod_saveWKT.php) it never left beta
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mapbender/mapbender/http/php/mod_saveWKT.php?rev=1.1&view=log

The newest development obtains the geometry from OGC WFS servers, it can
read and query any WSF. We are currently extending it to also handle
transactional requests and store geometries with GeoServer WFS-T.

You can see the WFS version at work here with a UMN MapServer as both
WFS and WMS:

(it still doesn't zoom correctly with MS IE though :-)

Best, Arnulf.
