[mapserver-users] PHP/Mapscript Question

[Stephen Woodbridge]

OK, here is an update. I can get the marker symbol to show up BUT not
text label using the following code in my GMapDrawMap(). Does anyone
have any ideas why?

    if ($gbShowQueryResults)
        $img = $gpoMap->drawQuery();
    else
        $img = $gpoMap->draw();

    if ($HTTP_FORM_VARS["mx"] && !$gbShowQueryResults)
    {  
       $dfmx   = doubleval($HTTP_FORM_VARS["mx"]);
       $dfmy   = doubleval($HTTP_FORM_VARS["my"]);
       $sfmtxt = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["mtxt"];

       $mlayer = $gpoMap->getlayerbyname("marker");
       if (isset($mlayer)) {
         $mlayer->set("status", 1);
         $point = ms_newPointObj();
         $point->setXY($dfmx, $dfmy);
         $point->draw($gpoMap, $mlayer, $img, 0, $sfmtxt);
       }
    }
    
    $url = $img->saveWebImage($gAppletImgFmt, 0, 0, -1);
