With objects in PHP, you should be able to set object properties using
$layer->property=value.  However, since PHP MapScript is a wrapper on
top of MapServer C structures, setting properties this way does not
propagate to the C structures and has no effect (there's no way to set a
callback on a property change internally).  

That's why there are set() method on all classes and they should be used
when setting properties.
