Mapscript image object creation.

[Abe Gillespie]

That's a very nifty trick that I wasn't familiar with.  Now for
another wish.  Can you convert a MapServer image object to a PHP image
object in memory?  I've always assumed you couldn't and would first
save the image to disk and then load the file in PHP.  It'd be more
desirable to skip the disk writing part.

Thanks.
