Figured out KML file generation

I wanted to generate a KML file for locating the project in Google Earth. I got some code from them but when I tried it it did not work. I figured out that I didn't need to have the standard HTML header in the PHP file that generates the KML file.

I have a hyperlink on the satellite image now that works. I need to reopen the database in the file that generates the KML file so I can get more information to put in the positioning information. Right now I just have the name, project type, and number. I would like to have province/department, country, dedication, locate source. This would fit what I had done by hand.

I should also place a link bank to the web page that got me into Google Earth.
