label with mapscript

[joerg pfeiffer]

Hey Pietro,

thanks for your help. It seems my mapscript version is not up to date, 
so it doesn't know the ms_shapeObjFromWkt function. But I got it working 
with the following code. Only problem: It only prints one label, not as 
many labels, as I have in the array:

$LabelLayerObj = $this->map->getLayerByName($layername);
$labelpointObj = ms_newPointObj();
$labelLineObj = ms_newLineObj();
	
for ($i = 0; $i < count($pointlist); $i++){
			
	$labelpointObj->setXY(100+($i*2),100+($i*2));
	$labelLineObj ->add($labelpointObj);
	$labelshp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
	$labelshp->set("text", $pointlist[$i] );
	$labelshp->add($labelLineObj);
}
		
$LabelLayerObj->addFeature($labelshp);

So if I know how to print more than one label, I would be very happy! :-)

cheers
Joerg
