comment ajax not working with postgresql
do you know for sure that the value is sent? Get Fiddler running and check that your request is indeed a POST and that the value you expect is being passed. Also do you know for sure that the correct PHP script is being called? Change the PHP script to always echo 'something' and check that this gets back to the browser. These kinds of simple steps will turn your big ambiguous problem into one or two small and well-defined problems.

comment WFS Layer in OpenLayers queries server for data but doesn't display the data
I notice your WFS source is localhost - is your JS application also running on localhost, on the same (default) port? If not, and you've no proxy (you don't specify), the all-too-familiar cross-domain issue could be the reason. In that scenario data will still be downloaded but then discarded by the client.

comment GML, KML, GeoJSON - Speed rendering 3109 polygons?
IE8 will be almost as bad. OpenLayers has several renderers and for browsers that don't support Canvas or SVG is will resort to VML, which IE7 does support. The different renderers give better and worse performance in different places, e.g. rendering vs. mouse-over & click detection

comment How do I center Openlayers map over New Mexico
I think providing only a single layer (OSM) makes that the base layer, and that in turn sets your map's spatial reference to the base layer's (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). In this case your centre coordinate needs to be in 3857 / 900913 - try @GeoSteve's numbers below. -105,35 in metres from 0,0 will be somewhere close to Africa.

comment Send WMS Request as JSON
even if it were possible JSON will not make the request any shorter. As @Jamie noted POST is a good option. See here: openlayers.org/dev/examples/wms-long-url.html I think there may be some cross-browser issues with POST but can't find anything right now

comment how to check if a wms layer has no features
here is a starting point: stackoverflow.com/q/6816565/519575 I generally try to avoid giving suggestions and saying "... but this is a bad idea" - depending on your use case, browser platform, and data this could be appropriate but it seems to me like a last resort. It already smells a bit and I haven't even looked closely at it yet.

comment how to check if a wms layer has no features
you say "if no features are rendered" but is this really what you want? Nothing rendered could mean there are results but scale-dependencies prevent them from being shown, or some features are outside the current viewing area. If you really just want to know when nothing is rendered you might be able to use some JavaScript (and maybe Canvas) trickery to check colour variation across the returned png.

comment Given a C# ArcMap custom toolbar with engine source files in a folder is there a way to install the toolbar and engine without going through VS?
Was it built against the ArcObjects 10 API? It doesn't always seem necessary, but I think ESRI wants you to re-compile extensions / add-ins for each new version of their software.

comment AutoDesk Infrastructure Studio cannot access Map Server (Windows + IIS)
I assume this means the Infrastructure Map Server 2013 service is running? Sorry but beyond this suggestion I can't really help. I've never had the time or the patience for this product in its various incarnations

comment AutoDesk Infrastructure Studio cannot access Map Server (Windows + IIS)
Can you see if the services are running? I'm not sure about the new Infrastructure Server, but MapGuide used to need both its own service and its apache instance running. They might not be configured to start with the OS

comment enhanced grid dojo
It's possible that either you or Dojo is using / generating duplicate element IDs. Also, although you seem to be using an ESRI API this is not really a GIS question and might be better in stackoverflow.com

comment WMS projection doesn't match basemap
Careful with the EPSG code, there is already far too much confusion on the web around this. You mean 3857

comment Poor rendering performance in ArcGIS Server tiled map service and crashes logged
@Simon yes the web adapter is in play and the services have the default map service configuration, which I think is checking every 30 minutes.

comment Existing ArcGIS Rest Services - What platform to use for building mapping application?
Personally I'm not very fond of Dojo, which is my main gripe with the JS API, but I still wouldn't think twice about using it to interact with AGS REST map services. It's the right tool for the job

comment Is there any problem with Service Pack 4 for FME?
while waiting on Safe support you could try removing and re-adding the transformer in your SP4 workbench - perhaps there is a new version of the transformer in this SP and the old version has compatibility issues.
