[OpenLayers-Dev] PHP Backend to OL

[Andy Deakin]

Hi Arnie,

Different types of layers have different OL to server interfaces. What 
are you trying to achieve?

It might be that the apache mod_rewrite will bridge between what OL 
expects (e.g. /z/x/y.png etc) and the folder structure you have on the 
server, without needing php at all.

OpenStreetMap has some documentation regarding its tile names, Perhaps 
this might help you:

To inspect data requested and responses, consider using Firebug as an 
add-on for Firefox. The 'net' console is brilliant!
