Lars,

I see in your previous email that you're using version 4.5. The constant 
MS_GD_ALPHA was added to PHP MapScript only in 4.6.0-beta1. You will 
have to either upgrade, or use "$layer->set("transparency", 1000)" (1000 
is the internal value of MS_GD_ALPHA).

BTW, while checking that, I noticed an issue with the msSaveMap() 
function in its handling of TRANSPARENCY ALPHA, but that should not be 
related to the problem that you describe above:
