Berend,<br><br>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.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Is there a way to determine field types of a layer (string, number, ...),<br>
using mapscript?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Berend<br>
