Lorenzo,

I would like to test your implementation (the 2. one) but i had
problems with the PHP XML document object model.
I have issued the following request:
http://localhost/kamap-cvs/XMLOverlay/overlay.php?xmlUrl=http://localhost/kamap-cvs/XMLOverlay/xmlgetpolygon.php&mapName=gmap&sessionId=&imgWidth=598&imgHeight=516

the cvs version of overlay.php gives the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
C:\ms4w\apps\ka-map\htdocs\XMLOverlay\overlay.php on line 237

After replacing all occureences of "->item(0)" with "[0]" i got:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'domdocument' in
C:\ms4w\apps\ka-map\htdocs\XMLOverlay\overlay.php on line 287

I am using the php version coming with ms4w that is: php 4.4.3-dev.

I am guessing this version is not sufficient for your implementation.
Since i am not a PHP guru i would greatly appreciate if you could help
me to have this code working.

Thanks,

Tamas
