[mapserver-users] Labels stopped working after update

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Depends on how big of a jump in version you made. 6.2 now features multiple labels per class. I think you need to do something like:

$label  = $oAirportsClass->getLabel(0);
$label->color->setRGB(0,0,0);
$label->set("font", "verdana");
$label->set("size", MS_LARGE);
$label->set("position", MS_AUTO);
$label->set("antialias", MS_TRUE);

Subject: [mapserver-users] Labels stopped working after update

This was working yesterday but I applied an update for ubuntu 12.04 today that had some mapserver items
and now my php file only works if I comment out the labels portion below so I get points without labels.

Did something change recently related to php mapscript labels?

// Layer 3 airports--------------------------------------------------------

// Point Symbol
$nSymbolId = ms_newSymbolObj($oMap, "circle");
$oSymbol = $oMap->getsymbolobjectbyid($nSymbolId);
$oSymbol->set("type", MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE);
$oSymbol->set("filled", MS_TRUE);
$aPoints[0] = 1;
$aPoints[1] = 1;
$oSymbol->setpoints($aPoints);

// Layer
$oLayerAirports = ms_newLayerObj($oMap);
$oLayerAirports->setConnectionType(MS_POSTGIS);
$oLayerAirports->set("name", "airports");
$oLayerAirports->set("type", MS_LAYER_POINT); # This is crucial
$oLayerAirports->set("status", MS_DEFAULT);
$oLayerAirports->set("labelitem", "icao");
//$oLayerAirports->set("classitem", "MyAirports");
$oLayerAirports->set("connection", "host=xxxx port=xxxx dbname=xxxx user=xxxx password=xxxx");
$oLayerAirports->set("data", "geom From (select a.icao, geom From airports a left join airportdata e on a.icao = e.icao where e.icao Is Not Null) as subquery using unique icao using srid=4326");

// Class with Labels
$oAirportsClass = ms_newClassObj($oLayerAirports);
$oAirportsClass->set("name","MyAirports");

// Style
$airportsStyle = ms_newStyleObj($oAirportsClass);
$airportsStyle->color->setRGB(255, 22, 22);
$airportsStyle->set("symbolname", "circle");
$airportsStyle->set("size", "3");

/* ONLY WORKS NOW IF THIS IS COMMENTED
// Label
$oAirportsClass->label->color->setRGB(0,0,0);
$oAirportsClass->label->set("font", "verdana");
$oAirportsClass->label->set("size", MS_LARGE);
$oAirportsClass->label->set("position", MS_AUTO);
$oAirportsClass->label->set("antialias", MS_TRUE);
