Subject:             [mapserver-users] Request feature mapscript, Selecting a 
Class by Name

Hi Mapserver users,

Is it possible to select a class by name in a Layer. Something like
getClassbyname ?
I use the feature getlayerbyname to select a Layer but for Classes i must
use an integer :/
Can this feature be enabled in mapscript ?

The work around would be something like this:

 

for ($i=0; $i<$oLayer->numclasses; $i++)
{
    $oClass = $ oLayer->getClass($i);
    If ( $oClass->name == $myClassName )
    {
        // do something
    }
}
