Your task is to write a PHP program that makes maps. It should read a map from URL, and make a pretty picture. The data is loaded into the database, and you can find the scheme at http://euclid.nmu.edu/~rappleto/Nations/nations.scheme.html This assignment is out of 27 points. I don't expect you to do all the stuff below. You lose 10% per day (50% max) starting after Wed March 28th at 4pm. Really!
