Part of the work to re-enable MapScript to work with the PHP DSO is done 
in the 4.1 (CVS HEAD) version, but it still needs more testing to 
uncover potential thread-safety issues, and there is an issue with regex 
and the PHP DSO that needs to be resolved in the build process (right 
now you need to fool configure in order to complete the build).

This has been discussed in December on mapserver-dev, you may want to 
read this thread
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-dev/0312/msg00022.html

And the following bug report:
