Yes, I and many others do this very thing. You just need to get the data in a format reconizable to openlayers, and then insert it. There are many combinations of ways to do this. For one of my apps I fetch wkt and use openlayers wtk parser to convert those into features and then its as simple as layer.addFeatures(myFeatures)

Hi, I have an openlayers loading a GeoJson file locally (=on client side). This file is heavy and I want to avoid to load it locally. The perfect solution would probably be a WFS server to serve my features but I would prefer a lighter and easier solution (I am lost in tool like Geoserver and just get the feeling that it is too big for me and my usage). Is there not a way to build a small php script to serve my features from the GeoJson or GML and read in Openlayers through OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP ? Such php script, on server side, should implement the maxfeatures and/or bbox query in order to load just the needed features. Does such php script (or very very very simple WFS server) exist? thanks -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Just-a-simple-php-script-instead-of-WFS-server---tp 2559646p2559646.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
