[mapserver-users] Integrate mapserver with PHP MIS

[Andre Schoonbee]

See, the map data is currently in postgis, and in the MySQL database, I have
a FeatureID field that relates to the relevant PostGIS data element.

I know this is doable, but my personal PHP development skills is extremely
limited. I can setup mapserver and have got the basic  PHP system going, but
going beyond - out of my current scope.

It is certainly possible to do this with mapserver.  More accurately, it is
very easy to setup these types of queries with "mapscript" the scripting
library provided with mapserver.

There is also some constraints on your data.  You'll need to have a table
(or column) describing the geographic locations of all of your projects.  Or
have a geocoder that can translate the project into geographic coordinates
"on the fly."
