Hey Daevid, That is a great idea... The only issue is i don't know ajax yet :) But it's on my list of things to do this year! What I ended up doing is just putting a static image in which is generated automatically by google on the fly using the GPS coordinates that I supply, it places a marker on the image, and then it links into a full map where you can pan, zoom, get directions etc. etc. So just needed to think out side the box a little bit! And... For the archives... YES that would have been a bad design decision. It was a crutch to get me through until I can learn more javascript and start mastering that. Thanks for the help! :)-----Original Message----- From: lists@pruimphotography.com [mailto:lists@pruimphotography.com] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2011 4:50 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] A bad design decision or pure genius? Hey Everyone, I have a question about php & javascript... Yes I know this forum is for php BUT I needed an opinion on where to look for stuff... I have a application that I'm working on that uses google maps to display interactive maps (using javascript) on the website. I now have the need to display multiple maps on the same page and from what I can tell I have to create new instances and variables for all of them... What I'm wondering is since I know very little javascript would it be bad to create a PHP function to write the java code for the proper number of maps I need to display? The map info is being pulled from a database where events are being added and could contain 2 or 200 maps... Or should I learn javascript and figure out how to create a loop in there so that I can just loop it in the java and not repeat code? Thanks for any assistance you can give! Jason Pruim pruimj@gmail.comNot sure why you would need to show more than a single map at any given time. Therefore why not use PHP to show a list of possible maps and when the user clicks on one, use AJAX to populate a single map on demand?
