Martin,

Which version of PHP MapScript are you using?
I think ms_NewFeatureObj() has been removed after the 3.3.011 release
and it may well have been broken in version 3.3.011.

I suggest that you get version 3.4 (it is much more stable anyways) and
use layerObj's addFeature(shapeObj shape) method which replaced the
ms_NewFeatureObj().

Best Regards,
