Thanks, it works. My full version for beginners:

$testshape = ms_newShapefileObj("data/country", -1);
print_r($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>";
}

cheers
