How to produce labels for dynamic points?

[Gavin Simpson]

Dear List,

I'm having some trouble working out how to dynamically add information
to a feature object on a dynamically created shape object that will
show up as the labels for the points I have added to the layer.

The layer is defined in my map file, but it is empty. I process the
layer adding new points from a database like so:

       for ($i = 0; $row = mysql_fetch_array($samplesQuery); $i++)
       {
               $pt = ms_newPointObj();
               $pt->setXY($row["fullEasting"], $row["fullNorthing"]);
               $line = ms_newLineObj();
               $line->add($pt);
               $shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
               $shape->add($line);
               $shape->set("index", $i);
               $shape->set("text", $row["siteCode"]);
               $layer->addFeature($shape);
               $pt->draw($map, $layer, $image, 0, $row["siteCode"]);
       }

What do I need to turn on in my map file or what do I have to do in
PHP to set the text for the labels for these dynamically produced
points? My mapfile is appended below.

Many thanks,

Gav
