Google Map API -- MySQL & PHP References

This is a PHP forms generation and validation that comes with a plug-in to integrate with Google Maps and treat a map as a special form input to let the user pick a location on the map.

The plug-in generates all the HTML and Javascript to get the user selected location coordinates and put them on form fields, so when the form is submitted the PHP script that processes the form can store the coordinates in a database or perform some other useful action with them.

Real world applications of this plug-in include a directory of user groups or a directory of professionals available for taking jobs world wide.

Here is the complete PHP forms class with the Google Maps plug-in is available here. There is also a tutorial video that explains how the forms class and the plug-in works.
