Just calling $layer->draw($image) for each layer will do the trick.  You 
need to use $map->prepareImage() to create a balnk image first.

Thanks for pointing that. I have fixed the 
mapscript/php3/examples/test_layer_mask.phtml forV4.x and updated the 
copies in CVS for v4.2 and 4.3. I also attached a copy of the updated 
script.
