Jon,

Thanks for your quick reply.  I see what you're saying about having
one record per item: but like most people, I'm dealing with the
database output that is given to me by shp2mysql, and with little
control over what I've got.  Because I know others are using a similar
system for displaying in google maps, I thought someone might have an
idea.  Do you have a suggestion about another group that would deal
with KML creation using PhP that would be dealing with the same
GEOMETRY objects in Mysql?

I'm also curious as to what you mean about holes....  Like donut
shaped polygons?  My dataset doesn't have any of those, so I wouldn't
have encountered them, but I could see how that would similarly be a
problem.

Again, thanks for your reply - I didn't mean to go too far off topic,
and I apologize.

Dominic
