[Mapserver-users] no legend

hi list.

i have a "simple" problem: there ist no legend indicated. not even an
error message. just an image with nothing in it. i can't imagine why. what
am i doing wrong? i am grateful for each assistance.

here is an extract of my mapfile (with only one layer):

and an extract of my php-file:

<?php
 ...
 $map=ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file);
 $image=$map->draw();
 $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(MS_GIF,1,1,0);
 $image_legend=$map->drawLegend();
 $image_legend_url=$image_legend->saveWebImage(MS_GIF,1,1,0);
 ...
?>

<html>
...
<td valign="top">
 <table>
  <tr><td>
   <font size=+2><b>Legende</b></font><br>
   <img src="<?php echo $image_legend_url?>">
  </td></tr>
 </table>
</td>
...
</html>
