Hi Daniel,

I thought to a client solution at the beginning of my testing but that mean
I need to get all the coordinates from the server and send HTTP request back
from the client, it seemed to be not too good to me so for that reason I
decided to test the possibility to create the image in tile.php included
with my temporary layer just before the imgage is cached the first time, as
my data are already available but may change for different sessions and then
a server solution I thought it was ideal.

But believe me, I tested at least 100 variations of the code below and I
couldn't see anything, noone of my point on the map, I guess maybe I need to
have something pre-set in the mapfile? I am surely missing something, I
don't know MapServer very well (that is the reason I am testing) but a
syntax like this:

$point->draw($oMap, $point_layer, $image, 0, "");

for the mushups seems suspicious to me.

I have passed last two days trying and trying, nothing, I for sure haven't
understood how the object model works as other people is able to do the same
thing I am trying to do. I thing at the end I have to work around as you
said, though I am not really happy of that as from kamap I only would like
rely for things like zooming and panning, but the code seems to be easy and
surely I'll have a go next Monday when I am back at work, if performances
are good then I'll be happy. 

Thank you very much.

Rosario
