The system list it is looking for is a file called "epsg".  On Unix it
is usually installed under /usr/local/share/proj, and on Windows, PROJ4
looks for it in directory C:\proj.

So you have to get a copy of the "epsg" file and place it in C:\proj. 
You can get it from the PROJ4 source distribution at
http://www.remotesensing.org/proj , and we also made a copy available
for download on our site at

There is currently no way to access the projection settings of a map or
a layer in PHP MapScript.  You may want to file this in bugzilla as an
enhancement and we'll try to add this at some point in the future.
