[OpenLayers-Users] Just a simple php script instead of WFS server ?

[Matt Kenny]

I've had a need to recently do just that. I just create a GeoJSON object and
pass those values into an OpenLayers.Layer.Vector I've got an example that
you can view here:

Here is an example output of a PHP script generating geoJSON from a MySQL
Database

Take care,
Matt
