I`v get xml data from poly php with ajax. Everything is ok.

Answer 1

May I assume you use the function downloadUrl from googles util.js ?

When yes: data is already a document, there is no need to access data.responseXML

Each attempt to access a property of xml will result in an error, because xml is undefined

Replace this:

    var xml = data.responseXML;
    var polys = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("poly");

with:

    var polys = data.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("poly");

There is an syntax-error:

point = [
          new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(polys[i].getAttribute("plat")), parseFloat(polys[i].getAttribute("plng")) );
        ];

remove the semicolon:

("plng")) );
//---------^

But to get the desired result you must create the point-array outside the loop:

var point=[];

and add the LatLng's to point inside the loop:

point.push(new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(polys[i].getAttribute("plat")),  
                                  parseFloat(polys[i].getAttribute("plng"))));
