adding a layer programmatically with PHP

[Keith Boyle]

thanks Kristjan, sorry for the late reply.

I also found that the numlayers property isn't updated when you use
ms_newLayerObj() and that using $map->getAllLayerNames() and iterating over
the list seems a decent workaround. My layer controls were not being created
, since I was looping over numlayers.

cheers,
-Keith
