[mapserver-users] unique class for each attribute

[Pushkar Pradhan]

Is there a way to read the attribute fields in php/mapscript for a layer?
i.e. layer - landuse.shp has attribute: name
Is there a way to read each value of this field or more specifically -
create a different class for a common value of this field without having
to construct a class explicitly giving a name from the script or defining
a class in the .map file?
I hope I am not confusing anyone, thanks.
