Hi Lars,
You should not underestimate GDAL. Read
http://www.gdal.org/ogr_sql_sqlite.html and look at this:
ogrinfo -dialect sqlite -sql "select st_length(geometry) from line_demo limit
5" line_demo.shp
INFO: Open of `line_demo.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
Layer name: SELECT
Geometry: None
Feature Count: 10
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
st_length(geometry): Real (0.0)
OGRFeature(SELECT):0
st_length(geometry) (Real) = 638.237633730745
OGRFeature(SELECT):1
st_length(geometry) (Real) = 32.7179011265525
OGRFeature(SELECT):2
st_length(geometry) (Real) = 4399.43983906202
OGRFeature(SELECT):3
st_length(geometry) (Real) = 480.395511976145
OGRFeature(SELECT):4
st_length(geometry) (Real) = 311.309421824364

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.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Calculate length!
Hi,
I want to calculate the length in mapserver. Is it possible. Means i have a
linestring and i want to know the length for it.
Also not could be suggest me how to do it.
I am using data source to mapserver as KML.
Thanks!
