I want to publish a layer automatically in geoserver. Each layer is a database table in postgis db. I can see the table in geoserver store(already contains some layer tables of that particular db) as soon as I create it in postgis but publishing it should be done manually. Can I find any php script for just publishing the layer….
Does "Adding a postgis table" section in http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x/en/user/extensions/rest/rest-config-examples-curl.html also publishes the layer????

This re-publishes a Layer when the user adds (or deletes) a polygon - it is using WFS-T to add the data to the database from the browser.
