Controlling transparency - php mapscript

[Fawcett, David]

I believe that at this time, transparency is only set at the layer
level.  In the future, there will hopefully be class-level transparency.


I would guess that the only way to accomplish this would be to create
two layers, one for the outline and one for the semi-transparent fill.
You could then group them.

Hi

I've just learned how to set the transparency for a layer

    - $myLayer->set("transparency", 20);

But what I really want to do is set a semi-transparent fill for square 
polygons that I'm drawing on the fly from a MySQL database, but keep the

outline of the squares opaque. Is this possible - and how?

Many thanks
