I am using Google Map API to do address translation(mainly by geocoder).
And I’d like to store results into local database for future use since google map has a limit on total query number and frequency.
But how? I have googled and found an ActiveX based solution. Is there platform independent alternatives?
To access a database you are going to need a server side language. JavaScript can talk to PHP through AJAX and PHP can update the database with whatever parameters you give to it via JavaScript.
I would stay away from ActiveX as it can be tricky and you just dont need it.
When you have a database setup, have a look at these websites
