I'm looking for some help getting started. I've spent about a week looking at various OL examples and "getting started" pages but they cover only the most minimal basics. And while I'm very handy with php and SQL, my Javascript is limited so I'm struggling.
I want to set up a basic map with an image base (done) and vector layers for points, lines (done) and polygons (done). The bit that's unclear is how to write that information to a database and load it into the map. The information at http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/ doesn't help me much because of my limited javascript and examples which touch on what I want to do tend to offer only part of the solution. All I've figured out is that I should probably be using the GeoJSON format and for the loading info part, writing the JSON to a php file something like this? http://n2.nabble.com/Displaying-Multiple-Markers-from-Database-td1828946.html#a1828954 I've googled and googled and googled and searched these forums but can't find any decent examples that tell the whole story. Can anyone point me to one? I'm doing this as a favour for some friends who sadly don't know anyone with better javascript than me. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/OL-database-tp4588879p4588879.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
