[PHP MapScript] Problem with ms_newShapefileObj and path with special characters

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

I tried to create a shapefile and it work in PHP MapScript and it worked.

ms_newShapefileObj("/home/test/Hiro´s_TestTeste(blablabla:)_)datatesteShapeFile",MS_SHP_POLYGON);

Note that I added the opening and closing quotes and that this path 
(/home/test/) is an existing path where the webserver as the right to write.
