phpmapscript: changing a layer's style

[Aaron Racicot]

Hi there Dylan,

Have not had the chance to say HI in a while... Great to see some GRASS
guru's diving into Mapserver!  

You might already be doing something similar to this but:

1) You need to get the CLASS object
2) Then you need to get the STYLE object within that class using the
following:
   styleObj getStyle(int index)
        Return the style object using an index. index >= 0 &&
        index < class->numstyles.
3) Then you can use the set method of the STYLE object for things other than
color, but since colors are of type colorObj you need to set them directly
using the setRGB method.

Something like:
  $style = $class->getStyle(1);
  $style->color->setRGB($red,$green,$blue);
  $style->outlinecolor->setRGB(0,0,0);

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips,

however this does not *appear* to work for STYLE objects within a CLASS 
object...

I have tried extracting the classObj and setting a parameter with:

class->set('outlinecolor', '100 100 100')

however this does not work.
