Maybe you can see my prototype at the following link.
http://schott.selfip.net/~brian/CCD/maps/gmaps.php
I say "maybe" because I cannot verify whether my
URL works or not from my own computer. I will say
that my "server" is my home computer and even under
ideal conditions it has an upload speed of only 100kps,
so even if you are able to access my link, I don't
know if the slow speed will make it impractical. And
there's more ...
Anyhow, if you can access my link, my question is
one that has been asked repeatedly on this forum,
but I cannot understand the answers because they
they either address a case just a little different from
mine or they are not quite complete.
I have a flatfile PHP database populated with (prototype)
records with three fields: timestamp, lat, and lng. I have
successfully used GDownloadUrl to read these data
from my database into an xml file and access them
with Google Maps. And my application allows users
to drag a marker to a new location on a map that
already includes the existing markers from earlier
users. But I cannot add the current user's lat and lng
back to my database.
I am getting conflicting ideas from this forum, some say
AJAX is required, others not, for example.
My code has a nonworking PHP form using the POST
method, that I would like to change to code which
uses javascript and PHP4 and the Google Map API,
avoiding AJAX is that is reasonable. I definitely would
like to finesse mysql and PHP5.
I am using a common programming strategy in PHP which
uses "if (isset ($_POST['Submit'])) {..." to
enable me to have a single webpage both display
and handle the results of an input form.
I would appreciate any help you can afford me, even
just to know that the link above works; my curiousity
is heightened because I have a dynamic IP address,
and I am not sure my Google key can find me when
the IP changes.
