Mapscript/PHP help me display tabular results of my query (queryByAttributes)

[Pietro Giannini]

Hi John,

the result of "$layer->getResult($i)" is a result cache; you must obtain
the shape of the layer by the "shapeindex" property of the result cache:

your code:
/**********************************/
 $layer->open();

 for ($i = 0; $i <= $layer->getnumresults();$i += 1) {
 $resultx = $layer->getResult($i);

 // THIS Does NOT give me what I'm after
 print "<pre>";
 print_r($resultx); // print_r($resultx);
 print "</pre>";
 }
/**********************************/


modified:
/**********************************/
 $layer->open();

 for ($i = 0; $i <= $layer->getnumresults();$i += 1) {
 $resultx = $layer->getResult($i);
 $shape = $layer->getShape($resultx->shapeindex);

 print "<pre>";
 print_r($shape->values['string_name_of_the_field']);
 print "</pre>";
 }
/**********************************/
