Hi, I'm just getting started on adding a Google map element to our website. Reading through all of the posts the perceived wisdom seems to be to write a PHP function to extract all of the marker info from a database table and build an XML file. To display the map the data can then read back in from the XML through a JS function.
If the database gets updated should the XML file be recreated and users only see the pre-prepared XML? Or should I run the extract to create an session based XML file? Doing it this way makes it almost real-time and allows me to filter the data down to what's appropriate for the user. One of the systems I've seen runs the SQL and creates a JS module from it. It's really cumbersome but is this the best way? Your guidance would be most appreciated.
