[OpenLayers-Dev] PHP Backend to OL

[Sebastian Benthall]

For Web Feature Service: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wfs
A WFS protocol, hooked up to a Vector layer, will construct valid WFS
requests and send them to the server.

For Web Map Service: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms
The protocol is used for tiled maps.  An OpenLayers WMS layer will send all
the right requests.
