You have access to all the attributes of a shape read via OGR using the 
$shape->values[] array.  This is briefly explained in the PHP MapScript 
docs:


----------------8<------------------
ShapeObj Class:
  --------------

  Members:

    string  text
    int     classindex
    int     type      (read-only)
    int     numlines  (read-only)
    int     index     (read-only)
    int     tileindex (read-only)
    rectObj bounds    (read-only)
    int     numvalues (read-only)
    array   values    (read-only)

    The values array is an associative array with the attribute values for
    this shape.  It is set only on shapes obtained from layer->getShape().
    The key to the values in the array is the attribute name, e.g.
      $population = $shape->values["Population"];
