[mapserver-users] mapscript annotation map layer

[Ballard,Lowell]

I'm trying to use an existing .map file I had working in MS3.5 cgi-version
porting it over to a Mapscript/php version.
 
Below are 2 roads layers, one TYPE LINE and one TYPE ANNOTATION.  If I turn
the ANNOTATION layer to STATUS OFF it will never display even when the Roads
Layer is selected on the user interface.  If I set the ANNOTATION layer
STATUS ON it will always display regardless of it's CHECKED/UNCHECKED status
on the interface.  I'm new to Mapscript and just working on hacking up the
demo so....sorta lost.
