$testshape = ms_newShapefileObj("data/country", -1);
print_r($testshape);
echo "<br><hr>";
for($i=0; $i < $testshape->numshapes; $i++){
        echo $i.":    ";
     print_r($singleshape = $testshape->getShape($i));
        echo "<br>";
        for($j=0; $j < $singleshape->numlines; $j++){
                $singleline = $singleshape->line($j);
                for($k=0; $k < $singleline->numpoints; $k++){
                        $singlepoint = $singleline->point($k);
                        print_r($singlepoint);
                }
        }
        echo "<hr><br><br>";
}
