Google Maps Save Polygon and points in MySQL using PHP

Question

Right now I have an application that allows users to draw a polygon on google maps. I need to save this polygon using PHP and MySQL but I\'m unsure of best practices.

You can also use : google.maps.geometry.encoding to encode/compress paths

I once used this to save in database thousands of directions and it is quite convenient.
