Hmm, seems to me that you be as well doing this server-side. If your
polys are in MySQL and your points are in MySQL. I'm pretty sure MySQL
has a spatial objects library... So send some SQL...? If you wanted
this could even be nice and ajaxy!!

basically you would be asking the database if a user generated or
selected point is inside a polygon...

I use postgresql with the postGIS spatial objects and let it do all my
spatial heavy lifting.
