Solution for Homework #6
Contents
Option 1
- In this approach, the two files showMap.htm and outputKml.php have been replaced by one program, now called showMap.php.
- In order to better pass information from the database to GoogleMaps, and to go around the caching that GGeoXml implements, the program works in the following fashion:
- It gets the Id that the user is interested and saves it in the $Id variable
- It fetches a KML file from the database at that $Id
- It stores the KML contents in a local file that is stored in a subdirectory called uploads, which is world-writeable (not very secure solution!)
- The name of that local file is made random by adding a random number to it (before the ".kml" extension). This will force GoogleMaps to load it, as it will never have it in its cache. The filename is of the form "dft_399410603.kml".
- The name of the kml file is saved in a global array that stays on the server between sessions, and called $_SESSION. This is an easy way to pass the name of the random kml file from php to javascript.
- GoogleMaps loads the file from a URL pointing to our own Website.
- The source code is below:
<?php
session_start(); // initialize access to the global array $_SESSION
?>
