<DIV>Thanks Paul for your guidelines,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll probably invest my time learning PHP-mapscript. But I hope with hard work to get my first widget. Maybe in a few years ;)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are too much things to learn in webmapping...</DIV>

<DIV>Good work and cheers!</DIV>

If you are referring to some sort of state <BR>that can be saved and returned to later, you would need to create a <BR>widget for this I think. Some things to think about:<BR><BR>* what constitutes a session state (you've answered this as extents, <BR>layers and mapsize - what about projection? are there any other <BR>attributes of a session that are important?)<BR><BR>* how does the session state get saved? Where does it get saved?<BR><BR>* how do you 'restore' a session state?<BR><BR>* is the session state user-specific? What are the implications (login)<BR><BR>I think this could be a useful widget for Chameleon but unfortunately I <BR>don't have any spare time to do it for you. Unless someone
volunteers <BR>(or you have $$), you may have to invest some time in learning PHP and <BR>Chameleon to work on this yourself.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>joanvp wrote:<BR>> Hi Paul,<BR>> <BR>> I'm newby programming in PHP and I'm lost in some ways.
