Hi,

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

TIA,

Steve

>From the help page:

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


...&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=12345.6789+12345.6789
         +map_webuser_feature_text=My+House!&..."
