Labels DO NOT appear on ms_newPointObj()?

[Ishrar Hussain]

I am using the code below to plot a dynamic point
using ms_newPointObj(). Though I have added the LABEL
object inside the CLASS object of the LAYER which
contains the point, the label does not appear at all.

Please go through the code, and let me know if it
needs any change for making the label appear. I'm also
not sure whether the parameter for the annotation
string in ms_newPointObj() will be the one holding the
LABEL of the point.

The code is as follows:

<?php
//....Part of my PHP Code

$oImage = $oMap->draw();

$myPoint = ms_newPointObj();
$myPoint->setXY(542800.6235, 626730.4673);
$myLayer = $oMap->getLayerByName("Points");

$myPoint->draw($oMap, $myLayer, $oImage, 0, "The LABEL
of This Point");

//....continues
?>

I hope this will be enough for you to understand the
problem. looking forward to your early response.

Thank you.
