Djutopie,

In C the msSaveImage() function includes a "mapObj" argument that may
be NULL.  It is necessary to pass in the map in order for SaveImage to
write georeferencing information to a geotiff file.  So the issue isn't
so much the outputformat setup (which looks fine) as it is how SaveImage
is called.  I'm uncertain if the map argument can be passed from PHP mapscript
or not.

Best regards,
