[mapserver-users] Finding the area of a polygon

Is there a way to compute the area of a polygon that has been created or 
pulled from a shape file?  If not, does anyone know of an algorithm for 
computing the area based on a variable number of points?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad Streck
