It is very likely that php_mapscript is loaded twice.  Make sure you 
don't have two dl() calls for mapscript.  Also check that you don't 
already load mapscript in your php.ini with a line like: 
'extension=php_mapscript_40.dll'

Finally, you can also use extension_loaded() to check if a module is 
already loaded before loading it again:

  if (!extension_loaded("MapScript"))
     dl("php_mapscript_40.dll");
