Hello developers,
Daniel suggested I file a bug enhancement in regards to my desire to have a
getBounds() method associated with the layerObj in PHP Mapscript (and the other
languages too I suppose).
This would help when creating zoomToActiveLayer and zoomToAllLayers types of
functions. I realize the bounds of a shapefile can be discovered through the
shapefileObj class, but their is no method available for determining bounds in
other data sources (eg: postgis). I suppose one could get around this by parsing
the connection and data properties of the layerObj, but it would be much nicer
to have a getBounds() method to do this.
Thanks a bunch :D
