method to retrieve field types

[Mark Adams]

Hi all, is there a way with mapscript/mapserver to get the field types
for fields in a shape file? We can get the field names using PHP, and if
we were able to use PHP 5 we could get the types that way too, but since
we’re using mapscript we can’t use PHP 5. Any suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.
