Beginner's question

[jay....@colliers.com]

Hi
I am new to Google map. I read the tutorial site recommended by
google.
But I still have a lot of problem, I think I must missed something.

I have a myspl data base which stored over 900 buildings' address
(the actual address of the building, not the location on map)
I would like to get all the buildings to be shown on the map

however, I tried different code whole date but still can't get what I
want
can anyone help me? I am totally messed up

here is some of my code

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

//var om = new OverlayMessage(document.getElementById('map'));
//om.Set('<b>Loading...</b>');

var geocoder ;
var icon ;
var gicon ;
var map ;
var gmarkers = new Array();
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.addControl(new GScaleControl()) ;
map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl()) ;
var mm = new GMarkerManager(map, {borderPadding:1});

geocoder = new GClientGeocoder() ;
icon = new GIcon();
icon.image = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png";;
icon.shadow = "http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/
mm_20_shadow.png";
icon.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20);
icon.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
icon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);

<?
foreach ($bp as $row) // I loaded the data from db to an array
{
        echo 'var address ="'.$row['StreetName'].', '.district($row
['District']).', Hong Kong";';
        echo 'showAddress(address);';
}
?>

function createMarker(point,html) {
    var marker = new GMarker(point);
    GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
    marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
    });
    return marker;
 }
function showAddress(address)
{
 geocoder.getLatLng(address, function(point)
 {
  if (point)
  {
  html = address;
   var marker = createMarker(point,html);
   map.addOverlay(marker);
   map.setCenter(point, 17);
   //gmarkers.push(marker);
   //mm.addMarkers(gmarkers, 0, 17);
   //mm.refresh();
  // I am trying to use GMarkerManager here, but....i couldn't get it
work..., the gmarkers alway return 0 arrays...
  }
  else
  {
        var start = new GLatLng(22.340844,114.109497);
    map.setCenter(start, 11);
  }
 }) ;
}
