Yes it is possible.  But I don't know PHP mapscript very well. But it is
very similiar to Perl.  I would check the PHP documentation for
shapeFileOpen().  You can get the shapefile name from the
layerObj->{data} member so:
$shapfile = shapeFileOpen($layerObj->{data});
$minx = $shapefile->{bounds}->minx;
$miny = $shapefile->{bounds}->miny;
etc.
