I tried setting the transparency parameter (through mapscript) like
this:

$layer->set("transparency",90);

and it appears solid.

Version:

[vinko at landsat vinko]#/builds/mapserver/mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.7 (development) OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

I know i should use 3.6-beta, but i'd like to know if my method is right
before recompiling.
