[Fwd: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] label with mapscript]

[Pietro Giannini]

Ciao Joerg,

Yes I'm using php_mapscript 4.10. ms_shapeObjFromWkt is more comfortable
than "create a point, create a line and add the point, create a shape and
add the line"

I think in your code you have only a label because you add only a shape to
the layer.
An annotation layer in your map file is like a points layer, then add how
many shapes than labels.

In your code you must only move the $layer->addFeature function into the
for() block:

 for ($i = 0; $i < count($pointlist); $i++){

 	$labelpointObj->setXY(100+($i*2),100+($i*2));
 	$labelLineObj ->add($labelpointObj);
 	$labelshp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
 	$labelshp->set("text", $pointlist[$i] );
 	$labelshp->add($labelLineObj);

        $LabelLayerObj->addFeature($labelshp);
 }

I hope it's working for you
ciao
