Hi Dharshana,
For that you could do a simple INSERT through PHP for example. For inspiration you could look at Google’s MySQL tutorial http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=80201&topic=11364

Hi,

Thanks for the article. I need to develop a web application where the users can mark the locations on the Google Map, which would be saved in a PostGIS database for later use. I supposed I’d have to add elements to the XML file and export it to PostGIS when the session ends. Is it possible to do that?

regards,
Dharshana

Hi Arnaud, Sorry for the late reply, had to clear too much spam before I got to your threads. Anyways, it is possible to also serve up line and polygon data stored in a spatial database. The easiest way is to have it output kml which can directly be read by both Google Earth and Google Maps. This thread on Mark McLaren's weblog talks about this and might help you out. Alternatively you could consider using GeoServer which can output shapefile data directly to kml and/or wms. Hope this helps. cheers, Mark

Just a question about the connection between GMaps and Postgresql
is it possible to make the same connection but employing the geometry of a polygon that stocked on a postgis database.

I have a problem when i want to run this PHP code
How much PHP files do i have to make??

Connect.php
Generate_gmap_xml.php

Thanks for you help.

Hello
Excuse me for my english

I just want to congratulate u about this topic.
I have to make an application based on the GMaps API and the database select for the project is the SGBD postgreSQL/PostGIS.

With this message it’s easier for me to use directly the postgreSQL spatial database.
But i have a request, have you ever try to make in relation the GMaps API with the PostGIS spatial extension.

My application have to show some “vectors”, the spatial extension of my prroject (PostGIS)
associated with the database (postgresql)

I hope that u will understand my message
Thancks for ur attention

Bye

Arnaud
