[mapserver-users] Edit mode in mapserver

[Alexandre Dube]

Sorry,

   I should have written : it's not possible to use WFS in transactional 
mode with MapServer.

  Sure, you can write your own script with mapscript, but I think using 
the OpenLayers UI, with the drawFeature control, it's easy and a common 
practice.

  Regards,

Alexandre
