[Geomoose-users] Format numeric query result

[Dan Little]

Dates aren't handled well by MapServer.  Nor shapefiles.  You'll need to make sure there is a text field in your shapefile or database that formats the date as you'd like.

When I query or Identify a layer, the numeric results are in an exponential or scientific format (or whatever it’s called), and dates are in a yyyymmdd format.  I’d like to format these results into something more user friendly.  I’m looking at the Identify.php, but haven’t figured it out yet.  Any suggestions?  If it makes a difference, the source data is shapefile, item types include double and date.  It looks like long integer types format correctly in my output.
