[Mapserver-users] #features for layer in php/mapscript?

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Oops, right you are, my bad!

$layer->getshape() gets an individual obj out of a shapefile and 
numshapes only makes sense when applied to a shapefile object.

See if you can use the ShapefileObj as Daniel mentioned.

Ok, sleep now, before I confuse anyone else ... like myself :)
