I am thinking perhaps to post the data from the openlayers, and intercept it with some php, that can then enter it into postgis via WKT (assuming that the openlayers wfs-t object produces point cords for the shapes, which I haven't verified, but assume that it must).
I will look at the packages to see further. r.b. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 3:41 PM To: Burgholzer,Robert Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OpenLayers-Users] writing to my own wfs server On Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 02:46:50PM -0400, Burgholzer,Robert wrote: > Ahh yes, double-drat! > > Don't suppose anyone has put together any PostGIS functions in > openlayers that will permit writing a WKT feature directly to a PostGIS > server?

I can't imagine how that would work. You're going to need some kind of layer inbetween that speaks a non-binary language. FeatureServer is a Python CGI that is designed to speak a variety of languages on the input side and output side, and is designed to be as little work as possible to install. However, it requires some level of configuration, and it is likely, or even possible, that you would be better off with GeoServer.
