PHP Mapscript, imageformat settings being ignored

[Daniel Morissette]

I made a few tests and checked the php_mapscript.c code and I think the 
implementation of selectOutputFormat() fails to update the reference to 
the current outputFormatObj inside the PHP wrapper object.

I don't have time to fix that today, but it would be great if you could 
file a bug about this and assign it to me so that we don't forget.
