Am I doing something wrong?  The following code gives me an error.  
Since I don't have 78 lines of code in my php file, I'm assuming 
something in my .map file may be causing this error.  However if I take 
out the php code trying to set the layer status, the map will render fine.

Fatal error: Object expected as argument. in 
D:\Inetpub\rootbeta\map_engine\wnvfetchmap.php on line 78

          $myMap = ms_newMapObj("wnv.map");
          $countyLayer = $myMap->getlayerbyname(counties);
          $countyLayer->set("status",0);
          $myMap->selectOutputFormat("PNG");
          $image=$myMap->draw();
          $image_url=$image->saveWebImage();
