[mapserver-users] can't set class obj's color in php

[Pushkar Pradhan]

I am stuck, not able to set a class obj's color in mapscript,
code:
   for($c = 0; $c < count($tmp->numclasses); $c++) {
      echo "class index $c";
      $cl1 = $tmp->getClass($c);
      $cl1->set("color", "255 0 0");
   }

relevant portion of .map file:
LAYER ....
....
   CLASSITEM 'Total'
   CLASS
     EXPRESSION ([Total] GT 40000)
     NAME "Biloxi"
     OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
     COLOR 255 0 15
   END
   CLASS
     EXPRESSION ([Total] LE 40000)
     NAME "Picayune"
     OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
     COLOR 25 0 250
   END

END #layer ends

I've 2 classes defin. for this layer, when I do echo statements I see
the code is executed only for the 1st class, that too unsuccessful, i.e.
neither the class appears in 255 0 15 nor in 255 0 0
while the second class Picayune displays correctly in 25 0 250 shade.

If anyone knows please reply. Thanks,
