Oops, I should have written "+init=epsg:102718"

When +init=epsg:<number>  is used, it looks up all the parameters from a proj4 text file called 'epsg'.  Find that on your system and then add these two lines at the end:

# NAD 1983 StatePlane New York Long Island FIPS 3104
Feet <102718> +proj=lcc +lat_1=40.66666666666666 +lat_2=41.03333333333333 +lat_0=40.16666666666666 +lon_0=-74 +x_0=300000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192  no_defs <>

Then you should be able to use the syntax I provided.  Hope that helps!
