[OpenLayers-Users] Save Vector drawings in PostGIS

[Paul Spencer]

Try using tinyows, it is a lightweight c-based cgi that implements WFS  
with transaction support and is backed by a postgres/postgis  
database.  The WFS protocol in OpenLayers seems to work perfectly with  
it, use the Save strategy to ensure every edit gets saved to the db  
and you can use mapserver to draw maps with features from the db.

Cheers

Paul
