What aspect are you interested in? Saving user info or creating an AGS equivalent in php/mysql? If it's the former I could put together a sample like saving a map, bookmarks or graphics, and add it to the code gallery. It's fairly easy. I'm trying to ease up on my hermit ways. As part of that I'm putting together some samples for the code gallery. I added my first one the other day. If it's the latter, I cannot help. I met someone a few years ago through a friend, while he was in graduate school, who was trying to develop an open source substitute for AGS. I did some testing for him at the time, but then he finished school and moved to China or somewhere over there, and that was the end of that.

The former is what I am looking for mainly because I do not know that much about PHP as it relates to ESRI products. Recently I posted my specific question to the ArcServer forum because I was uncertain where to post it exactly.

I was initially trained to use PostgreSQL + ArcSDE however now that PHP has been deemed a must for this project, I'm uncertain how to integrate it with the work we have already done: Convert MySQL to PostgreSQL, Develop an ArcSDE, Host a Service on ArcServer, and Begin developing in the JS API. Now, however, I need to be able to query information which is then shown both in a PHP table/form and on a map.

Might this be possible with the route you know? Would we need to convert back over to MySQL?

Has anyone tested this and if so, how well did it workout? Are there any tutorials on the more technical side of this?
