Having hard time adding layers with php

[Berend Veldkamp]

Assefa,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it didn't work for me, but it did point
me to a solution. I do:

$layer->set("status", MS_ON);
$img = $map->draw();

btw Can anyone tell me the difference between $layer->set("status", MS_ON);
and $layer->status = MS_ON; According to the docs 'status' isn't read-only so
it should work either way?

Berend
