[mapserver-users] Field type

[Tamas Szekeres]

Berend,

The fields are represented as strings in MapServer so the field types cannot
normally be obtained in MapScript. In case of a shapefile layer you could
probably create a shapefileObj and use getDBF to obtain a DBInfo object and
use DBInfo.getFieldType to retrieve the type of a specific field. However
this option is not widely used and you might want to use the GDAL/OGR
bindings instead.


Best regards,

Tamas
