This is the code for myserver.php that is the server behind http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_store.htm <?php $lat = $_REQUEST["lat"]; $lng = $_REQUEST["lng"]; $details = $_REQUEST["details"]; $file = fopen("details.txt","a"); $output = $lat . "|" . $lng . "|" . $details . "\n"; fwrite($file, $output); ?> That's the entire script. Three lines receive the passed data (I use $_REQUEST rather than $_GET so that it would work if I ever wanted to use POST rather than GET). The next line opens the file in "append" mode. The next line assembles the data. The last line writes the data to the file. If you want to do anything more complicated than that, then I can't help you. That's about the limit of my PHP scripting ability. I don't think I've ever exposed my myserver.php code before because I know there are lots of PHP experts on this group who might laugh at my feeble first attempt to write PHP. Hint: I think it's a good idea to keep your PHP server scripts as simple as possible. Have lots of little servers that do one simple thing, like that one does, so they're easier to debug. I say that not because I'm a PHP expert, but from my years of experience with mainframe client/server programming. -- Mike Williams -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
