[mapserver-users] transparency with php mapscript

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Sven,

You found a good one.  It took me some time to figure out what is happening.

In fact this is due to MS4W 4.0.0 being compiled with Pixman support; 
unfortunately I had hit this back in 2016 and removed Pixman for that 
reason.  Here we are again though :)   I'll remove Pixman for the next 
MS4W 4.0.1 release.  Follow along the progress at 
https://ms4w.com/trac/ticket/218

Thanks for reporting this.
