Greetings all, I'm new to the open source GIS community after working at Esri for a couple of years, and I've been having a great time exploring all the available FOSS GIS software. I'm working on building a few websites with basic GIS functionality, and I'm trying to do as much as I can to maintain compatibility with "commodity" web hosts and use as little specialized software as possible. I've written some proof-of-concept PHP code to grab PostGIS geometry with ST_AsGeoJSON and put it into an OpenLayers page. This works fine, although I haven't looked at efficiency/scalability yet.
I would be interested in hearing about any (positive or negative) experiences you've had with this combination, and any information on existing tools for PostGIS and PHP or other web languages. I'm not finding much from a Google search. I don't pretend that I could replace map services in general, but I think there are use cases where a PHP mapping library would work well. Thanks, John Patterson _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
