[mapserver-users] Dynamic 'OnMouseOver' Info generation vom PostGIS/Postgres

[Heiko Schröter]

Hello all,

we are displaying satellite measurement geolocations with Mapserver and 
PostGIS/Postgres underneath.

I would like to add a feature (similar to the MapServer:ImagMap stuff) that 
displays some more info about the point on which the mouse is over inside the 
map. i.e. geolocation, name of datafile, value or so. These infos can be 
sourced from the Postgres db. It is ok to just show these infos on the bottom 
window frame (like the MapServer:ImageMap example).

How do i create the html code (javascript or php or whatever needed) with the 
dynamic content piped back from the Postgres db ?
Sorry if this is an obvious question. I did read the ImageMap and Template 
stuff, but i cannot get grip to the logic when the data are coming from a db.

Any pointer to more info or background knowledge deeply apreciated.

Thanks.
Heiko
