Adding dynamic points; clicking on point not working

Dear list,

I'm working with MapServer 4.6.0, PHP-Mapscript (Linux Suse9.2, Apache) and I managed to query my (MySQL) database, and plot dots on the appropriate lat/lon (see query below). However, I still can't manage to retrieve some additional information, when clicking on a dot (displaying all dots on a map is working okay). Im running with a modified Gmap-demo, but the functionality is intact. To be specific, when I click on a point, I got the message "Nothing found at query location."

Can you give me some hints/tipsss/clues? The code below is written by using some earlier examples on the list.

My (1) query and plotting by using PHP-mapscript, and below that (2) my map-file.

Regards,
Maarten van der Hoeven

1. ============

$layerObj = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("points01");
$classObj = $layerObj->getClass(0);

$query = "SELECT sta_id, lat/3600 as y, lon/3600 as x FROM stations;";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$i=0;
while (($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)))
{
     $pointObj = ms_newPointObj();
     $pointObj->setXY($row['x'], $row['y']);
     $line = ms_newLineObj();
     $line->add($pointObj);
     $shp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
     $shp->add($line);
     $shp->{index} = $i;
     if ($layerObj->addFeature($shp) == -1)
     {
        echo "addfeature failed!";
     }
     $i++;
     $pointObj->draw($gpoMap, $layerObj, $img, 0, 'sta_id');
}
