- by smiyazaki
I am using the Google Maps API with parts in javascript and others in PHP.

var iconBlue = new GIcon();
iconBlue.image = 'icon.png';
iconBlue.shadow = '';
iconBlue.iconSize = new GSize(19, 19);
iconBlue.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
iconBlue.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconBlue.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var iconRed = new GIcon();
iconRed.image = 'icon.png';
iconRed.shadow = '';
iconRed.iconSize = new GSize(19, 19);
iconRed.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);
iconRed.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);
iconRed.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);
var customIcons = [];
customIcons["restaurant"] = iconBlue;
customIcons["bar"] = iconRed;
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(47.614495, -122.341861), 13);
// Change this depending on the name of your PHP file
GDownloadUrl("phpsqlajax_genxml.php", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, name, address, type);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
});
}
}
function createMarker(point, name, address, type) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
}
//]]>
(I suppose the php will be called by "GDownloadUrl("phpsqlajax_genxml.php", function(data) {
..." in the javascript part of the sourcecode of phpsqlajax_map.htm)
Now I need another php file and the code snipplets for it, which creates an input form where I can add some new locations to the google map. Following code is used to create the xml file here: http://detektors.de/maptest/phpsqlajax_genxml.php
The next step would be, trying to make an plugin for wordpress that I could easily post a blog entry with a new location on the same map, which displays already some other locations stored in the mysql database.
thanks!
<?php
require("phpsqlajax_dbinfo.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','<',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('','>',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','"',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",''',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect ($host, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
echo '';
}
// End XML file
echo '';
