FYI, the following works for me with MapServer 4.8.4 (and 5.0), using PHP:


$map->setProjection('+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 
+x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +datum=OSGB36 +units=m +no_defs');

echo $map->getProjection()."\n";


I suggest you double-check your code, you must have made some typos.
