[mapserver-users] Calculate length!

[Schylberg Lars]

As far as I know there is no length function in Mapserver.
The only geometry function to use in Expressions is area(shape).
OGR sql doesn’t provide that either as far as I can see in the documentation.

So the solutions might be to convert your KML data to  sqlite or postgis where such functions are available.

The length of a string (number of characters in the string) can be found in OGR sql with the length function,
but I am assuming You are looking for the geometric length of the linestring.
