FW: Opening shapefiles with mapscript ms_newShapefileObj coprupting my shapefiles

[Janeks Kamerovskis]

Or probably the right question is how to:
"Pass type as -1 to open an existing file for read-only access,
  and type=-2 to open an existing file for update (append)." (from Docs)
As I understood, that types is php constants...
