Hi all,
I have commited some work on a wrapper to libshape :
"The Shapefile C Library provides the ability to write simple C
programs for reading, writing and updating (to a limited extent)
ESRI Shapefiles, and the associated attribute file (.dbf)."
http://shapelib.maptools.org/
I have wrapped most of the ShpXXX functions and no one of the DBF
ones. For the latter I would take a look whether this duplicates
ext/dbase.
I would like to commit the extension to PECL in 24 hours and if
there any objections please write them :)
As for the licensing, libshape is LGPL/MIT (whatever the user wants).
Currently the prefix is "shp" and of course if there are objection
please drop me a mail.
Best wishes,
Andrey
