PHP and Google Earth?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to learn PHP and have an idea for a new project.
I'd like to put up a simple page for my family members / friends to
input their address and contact info, and then a script would grab that
text and convert it to KML (Google Earth's XML spec.)

So what i"m looking for is any direction as to which PHP classes will
read text from a field and output it to an XML-based file...(if that's
the right direction...any further ideas here would be helpful.)

Thanks,
Ben

You'll need a geocoding engine to transform address to coordinates. Look
at Yahoo (http://toys.lerdorf.co m/archives/35-GeoCool!.html); once you
get the coordinates you'll be able to build your KML

Sorry if this is an off topic shot in the dark, but... Does anyone know a contact for anyone that works for Google Earth? I wanted to shoot 'em an email about a possible enhancement, but they're smart enough to not leave contact info ANYWHERE on their websites.

I need to get the dimensions of the Google Earth render window and I know squat about Window Handles. I've been sniffing around and I'm geting the idea that you can do lots of fun things with handles, that you can take over other apps. Is this true?

Hi, I'd like to write a python script to control Google Earth, and I've read that Google Earth provides a COM api, and that Python has a COM module 'pythoncom'. Anyone know where to get pythoncom from - as a separate module, because I'm using the Python application that comes with my GPS chip, from Telit :-

While using this website which loads all three for comparison: http://www.rockstarapps.com/samples/map-compare/ I realized how terrible Virtual Earth imagery is. Microsoft is using Navteq while Google and Yahoo are using Tele Atlas. I ran two separate queries in two different counties in Wisconsin. Would --you-- say my observations are fair?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
