Hi list,

I'm trying to figure out how to label a feature with a custom piece of
text. For example in the application we've built, a user can choose a
town, country or draw a point, line or polygon on the map. If a user
selects a country for example I can easily label the country with it's
name, but I want to label it with some custom text like, "Search
country", "Search point" or "Search feature". Is there a way to do this
with mapscript? I have a feeling I've read something about this on the
list but I can't find anything in the archives.

Thanks,

Benjamin
