getShape w/ OGR and MapInfo Tabs

[Stephan Holl]

dear list,

trying on the chameleon-list I was directed to this list with more
mapserver-gurus subscribed :-)
My problem:
Using getShape () (php-mapscript) from Mapinfo-Tabs does not
fill up my boundary array.

it does not retrieve any bounds for the object:
$oLayer->open();
$oShape = $oLayer->getShape($nTile, 0 );
                $aszAttributes['name'] = $oLayer->name;
                $aszAttributes['index'] = $oLayer->index;
                $oRect = $oShape->bounds;
                $aszAttributes['minx'] = $oRect->minx;
                $aszAttributes['miny'] = $oRect->miny;
                $aszAttributes['maxx'] = $oRect->maxx;
                $aszAttributes['maxy'] = $oRect->maxy;

$oRect is alway empty when I try this on TAB-Files connected through
OGR. Using Shapes /PostGIS everything is fine.

My Mapfile-Snippet.

I couldn`t find similar problems at google. Can anybody give some
hints?!

TIA
