<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm having problems displaying inline text using mapserver 3.6. I can get</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>symbol to draw, but can't get text added. Has anyone else run into this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>problem? I'm new to mapserver so I could be tripping up on the obvious. It</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>seems straightforward so it's all the more puzzling that I can't get it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>working.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>TIA,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>From the help page:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>"It is also possible to define inline features using this mechanism. This is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the only case where you can add on to the map file. You can edit/change</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>layer parameters but you cannot create a new layer. With inline features you</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>have to first create a feature and then build upon it, however, the layer</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the feature belongs to must exist. Here's a snippet from a GET request that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>adds a feature to a webuser layer:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>...&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=12345.6789+12345.6789</FONT>
