Apologies for the basic nature of this question - I hadn't heard of GIS until this morning! I have a PHP server with some basic data for geographic points in a MySQL database - each one has a latitude, longitude, an image and some text. A customer asked me if I could feed this as a layer into their GIS system (based on Geocortex), and I mistakenly said that I was sure it would be easy. Uh-huh.
After much research and experimentation, I'm at a loss as to what my general approach to this problem should be - should I install a GIS system and somehow copy my data there? Should I roll my own PHP to respond to WMS requests and return the specific layers I need? And how on earth do I go from my data set to the drawing layer that Geocortex seems to need?
