Simpler, and what I do, is just run a PHP script to query the database and write a file that contains the data. I do this only when the database is updated.
Javascript that directly queries mySQL is said to be a BAD thing....

For Case 1:  I believe that if you want to create a vector layer (on
the client side), you will have to send data in a format that someone
else will be able to read.  In other words, if OpenLayers can
read/decode it, someone else will be able to do so also.

If you really want to only expose a picture of your data and not the
data itself, I recommend looking into creating your own WMS service
using OpenLayers to display the image of the data as returned by your
WMS.

Hi everybody,

This probably have been talk already but I wasn't a menber then.

I have 2 simple question:

Case 1:
Let's say I have a MySql table with some data that I don't want to expose to
public. I know that I can read data from an xml, but xml files can be "read"
by others and I don't want this. Is there a way I can create an Vector layer
vith multiple data directly from an MySql querry?

Case 2:
I request dota shown in map (vectorl layers active or note with different
data) from an form. What is the best way to comunicate betwen form and
OpenLayers Map?

Thanks for help,

By the way I stiil wait some help with my previos post: "custom Lat and Lon
display in wrap data line help needed"
Mihai
