[OpenLayers-Users] Google maps layer with SVG overlay

[hhudson at katmandu.org]

Hi,

You might want to try the Layer.InlineXhtml class and possibly consider
setting singleTile to true in the options.

Eg,

  var svg_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.InlineXhtml(
   "SVG overlay",
   "<url_to_your_php_script>",
   null,
   {singleTile: true} );

Amongst other paramters, this will pass BBOX to your php script.  Also,
your php script will need to be from same origin or use a proxy mechanism.

Regards,

Harris.
