[ka-Map-users] RE: Best Method to Overlay User Data

[Daniel.Huber at ch2m.com]

 ka-Mappers - 

I'm trying to add data to my map dynamically, based on a file that the
user will upload.  Following Lorenzo's advice, included below, I've
decided to use the PHP/MapScript methods to add a new layer to the
mapfile and then store the users information there.

Here is the problem:

 * - the example that uses these methods included with the ka-Map files
(index_overlay.html) does not work -- it balks saying "Error while
parsing the document", which is I think is the KML file but I cannot be
sure.

 * - Where should I add the code to modify the mapfile on start-up,
since this is when the user will have uploaded their data.   I've tried
adding the code to the init.php and tile.php files, but they don't do a
thing.

Thank you for any guidance you can provide on this matter -- as it's
really starting to wear me down.

Dan

Hi Daniel,
I think this is the best solution.

hack print_map.php and you should get what you expect
