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

[Vincent Schut]

Hi all,

is there a way to determine the number of features (polygons, lines...) of a 
layerObj in php/mapscript?

I'm playing around with the $layer->getshape() function, but I have to provide 
it a shapeindex which appears to be a feature index. However, I can't find a 
way to determine the max shapeindex for a particular layer (without 
seperately opening the dbf file). Am I overlooking something?
