Hello,
In order to label a layer in mapscript I have the following lines in my =
php code:

$img =3D $myMap->draw();
$myMap->drawLabelCache($img);
$image_url =3D $img->saveWebImage(GIF,1,1,0);

The layer it should label is named ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline. Here =
is my layer definition for this layer:

LAYER
  NAME ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  TYPE line
  GROUP sokaklar
  STATUS ON
  DATA ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline

CLASSITEM 'ID'
  CLASS
       EXPRESSION /./
  COLOR 66 34 249
  END
LABELCACHE OFF
LABELITEM 'ADI'
  CLASS
   NAME 'ADI'
#EXPRESSION /./
   COLOR 161 02 110
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
#      FORCE true
      FONT arial
      COLOR 0 0 0
       ANGLE AUTO
     BACKGROUNDCOLOR 250 250 250 #WIT
      POSITION AUTO
        SIZE 0
        MINSIZE 2
      SIZE 8
   END
  END
END

But I am getting no labels. Mapscript even doesnot render image without

CLASSITEM 'ID'
  CLASS
       EXPRESSION /./
 =20
ADI is the label item, name of the coloumn in dbf to be used for =
labelling. Any ideas?
