A few years ago we had done some work for a client in visualizing aircraft telemetry data using the stand-along Google Earth client. At that time, the Google Earth browser plug-in was not yet […]

As part of one of our data integration projects, we were asked to process some web form data through a third party webservice. The web form was built in PHP, and our standard PHP webservice library has always been to use NuSOAP tool kit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/).
