Hi guys, I'm planning a very geo-heavy website and would dearly love to use a database with built-in GIS functions. PostgreSQL with PostGIS (http:// postgis.refractions.net/) looks ideal although the GIS extensions for MySQL would do at a push. My requirements are simple - I mainly want to search for points inside polygons and within a nominated distance of points or polylines.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any support for either extension in Propel or Doctrine (and hence Symfony). Is this correct? Have I missed something? Does anyone have any advice for me? Is it worth thinking about extending Propel or Doctrine to include support for the new data types (particularly with my noob Symfony skills) or should I roll my own functions and put them into a plugin? I would rather not have to do this for performance reasons (and laziness) Any thoughts gratefully received.
