Thanks Chip, that made it work. I previously had it in png24. But now with it set to GIF my aerial photos are not as good looking. Do you know if there is a way to keep the quality of the png24 but get the transparency of the GIF setting?

I checked my image in a separate HTML with a colored background just to make sure the image was transparent and it was. Is there a certain type of transparency that is necessary for the image? Is there some setting in the php or Map file that would not allow transparent images to work? I'm at my wits end. I am using Mapserver 4.2. I really hope I'm not wasting peoples time with this question.
