If you just want to pass the feature in using a URL configuration, you wouldn't 
need to use mapscript.  Just have the empty layer in your map file and then 
pass the feature definition in like:
 
 
&map_layer[3]=FEATURE+POINTS+-67.0000012+-16.9999952+-67.0000012+-17.4999950+END+TEXT+'A+test+line'+END&...

        Do you mean "given" as in "submitted via a web page"?  In that case I 
think I would use Python mapscript to add a LAYER similar to the one I sent 
below, but using the form variables submitted from the web page as the POINTS 
values.  Take a look at the chapter on Python Mapscript in the O'Reilley Web 
Mapping Illustrated book.  It explains it more clearly than I'm probably able 
to.
        
        Perhaps someone else on the list has another idea.

                        You can add a new LAYER with a FEATURE that has the 2 
points specified in it, like this:
                        
                          LAYER
                            NAME 'line'
                            STATUS DEFAULT
                            TYPE LINE
                            FEATURE
                              POINTS  -67.0000012 -16.9999952
                                            -67.0000012 -17.4999950
                        
                              END
                            END
                            CLASS
                              STYLE
                                COLOR 255 0 0
                                WIDTH 2
                              END
                            END # class
                          END # layer
                        
                        ##############

                                Hi, 
                                 How to draw a line on the map between two 
points given by the user? What all should be included in the mapfile for this 
line layer.
