Your code looks right at first sight, perhaps the problem is related to
your use of $point->project(), this method was kind of broken in PHP
MapScript 3.6.x and has been fixed only in 3.7 so I would recommend that
you avoid using it if possible (or upgrade to 3.7-dev).  Also, make sure
that your shapefile and dbf file are closed properly before you add them
to a MapServer layer.
