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

[David Fawcett]

Probably a heavier solution than necessary, but I am using MapServer
to generate GeoJson.  This makes it easy to switch layer data source
formats and allows the flexibility of switching output formats easily
too (GeoJson, GML, WMS, etc.)
