[Mapserver-users] Displaying Table data from MySQL

[bartvde at xs4all.nl]

Hi,

you can also have a look at (this won't work with Mapserver 3.6 though):

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpatialData

This way you can use the normal Mapserver label functionality on the
layer, see:

Best regards,
Bart
