Okay. First, thanks to Ralf and the rest of you guys for providing support! I've spent the past two weeks working off of the advice from the group here, and I'm ready to regroup. I asked earlier if I would be able to store data in MySQL and then get it back somehow, with the intent to display it on maps. Now, I'm able to do that. However, I realized that the other advice I got, namely that I should be running the output into javascript rather than outputting a KML was sound.
Here's an example of what I've been able to do: http://freeforthepicking.com/New/changedpamela8.php But, I'm not sure how to do that - I'm sure there are some tutorials out there, but I don't know exactly what to search for. What I am creating is a utility that will take user input from a search box and use that to alter the SQL query that is within the php script and then output the resulting polygons that match the search criteria and display them. So far, everything I've done has been using KML to display things as overlays. So, first: given the scenario I've described is the past advice I got still sound: I'm going to be trying to feed the data into javascript rather than into KML (or XML like the example above). I'll have to learn how to do that - but that's okay, I just want to make sure I'm still going in the right direction. Also, the reason I'm thinking I am going to do that is because the php script runs, but it just outputs a file, a static file. I need something that will respond dynamically: I think that's why javascript was recommended. I'm really hoping you all will be able to keep pointing me in the right direction! Thanks for reading!
