PHP ms_newLayerObj vs SWIG layerObj

[Ryan, Adam]

Thanks for the update.  I can't think of a reason for cloning a layer other
than inserting into a map, so it may not be needed.  Don't know.

Thanks again,

Adam

Adam,

Not in the 4.2 version.  In the 4.4 release, you'll be able to by using
mapObj::insertLayer which adds a copy of any layer to the map.  If you want
layerObj::clone in the next version, submit a request in Bugzilla and I'll
get around to it.
