title: Google maps api database interaction
body: <p>I am currently working on a project where users need to be able to enter geological data (such as a certain street name) into a website which will be put into a database and then retrieved and displayed on a Google map for all users to see.</p>
  <p>I've done a little research and so far it looks like the best way to do this is to use a PHP script for getting data and sending it to a MySQL database where it can then be retrieved by another PHP script and then passed to JavaScript to display on the map.</p>
  <p>From a big picture, the standpoint is this the best way to do things?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
