PHP/MapScript getShape() failing with an index returned by getResult() - PostGIS layer

[Doug B]

Ok.  I'll return to that. (I take it that also means that getShape()
is not deprecated in PHP/MapScript?)

Interestingly, I found a couple other posts where users had the same
problem that I'm having, but no resolution there either.

There must be something straightforward that is wrong in the way we're
using these APIs.

One other, possibly related, piece of information is that my postgres
console window seems to be outputting "ERROR:  cursor "mycursor" does
not exist" every time I execute this query.
