[mapserver-users] transparency with php mapscript

[Jeff McKenna]

I forgot to mention that that test script uses an important trick to 
test: it saves the mapfile to a temporary file, where you can confirm 
that a COMPOSITE object is indeed created (here is that script again 
https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/SWIGMapScriptOpacity )
