Abstract

Database-driven web mapping using jQuery, PHP, PostgreSQL & SDE
Track: Web Mapping
Authors: Jon Nordling, Michael Humber

The ArcGIS for JavaScript API provides a solid platform for creating web map applications. Occasionally it is necessary to customize maps further to meet the needs of a project. We will explore some tips and tricks we learned during development of the GEOGLAM interface. These include automatic map publishing , PostgreSQL connections, parsing REST JSON objects to dynamically add layers, custom PHP authentication, styling with jQuery and CSS, & custom map InfoWindows connected to a SDE database.
