drawing a point in MapScript

Hi,

I'm having a problem with rendering a point with PHP  Mapscript.
I'm wondering what I'm  doing wrong.   I'm  trying to  simulate the
following Mapfile code (which works well in Mapfile mode):

LAYER
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS DEFAULT
      FEATURE
        POINTS
            -64.4333333 -64.7833333
        END
        TEXT "HELLO WORLD"
    END
    CLASS
        COLOR 255 0 0
        SYMBOL 'cross'
        LABEL
            TYPE bitmap
        END
    END
    TOLERANCE 5
    PROJECTION
   "proj=latlong"
   "datum=WGS84"
    END
END


/********* PHP CODE ***********/

$map = ms_newMapObj("Ant.map");

  $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
  $layer->name = 'point';
  $layer->type = MS_LAYER_POINT;
  $layer->status = MS_DEFAULT;
  $layer->setProjection("proj=latlong,datum=WGS84");

  $pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $pt->setXY(-64.4333333,-64.7833333);
  $ln = ms_newLineObj();
  $ln->add($pt);

  $shp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
  $shp->text = 'HELLO WORLD';
  $shp->add($ln);

  $layer->addFeature($shp);


  $class1 = ms_newClassObj($layer);
  $class1->name = 'pointclass';
  $class1->label->type = MS_BITMAP;
  $class1->label->color->setRGB(255,0,0);
  $class1->label->set('position',MS_AUTO);
  $class1->status = MS_ON;
  $class1->settext = 'HELLO WORLD';


  $style = ms_newStyleObj($class1);
  $style->symbolname = 'cross';
  $style->color->setRGB(255,0,0);
  $style->size = 10;
  $style->outlinecolor->setRGB(255,255,255);


  $image=$map->draw();

  $image->saveImage('C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/tmp/'.$image_name);

I'm followig (except for the projection bit) the code proposed in
Beginning Mapserver and a tutorial I found on the Net. The code
seems identical.

What am I doing wrong?
