Generate MBTiles in QGIS and Publish as Live Service with PHP TileServer

Here in the tutorial, what you are going to be taught is how to create MBTiles with QGIS and how to host it as a live PHP TileServer. First of all, it is necessary to describe the process of conversion raster data into MBTiles format in another software, which is QGIS to optimize the further storage of the map . You will see how to apply here this GIS software for the exporting of the map layers into the MBTiles format for organization of geometries of places that you will be utilizing.

Once your MBTiles are generated it is time to go ahead and actually host them as an active service using the PHP TileServer. This effective tool helps to share your MBTiles and to have your maps up to date. It is in the following sections that we shall describe how to install and run PHP TileServer and in equal measure, how one may integrate it in his/her web application. By the end of this tutorial you should have a fully functional live map service using the advantages of MBTiles and the interaction of PHP TileServer.
