Luca,

The Entertn.shp/shx files seem to be corrupt.  The file length section contains
0x00000000 (24 bytes into the file) which results in an internal calculation
of there being -12 records.

How were your shapefiles prepared?

There are a number of ways.  You can do it from within PHP, or write a
C program against my Shapelib, use a GIS package like ArcView, etc.

Good luck,
