Setting attributes of shapes on php-mapscript

[Rodrigo Del C. Andrade]

    Hi.

    As of mapscript 4.10 you need to initialize the shapes to receive 
values.
    try issuing a

    $shp->initValues(1);

    before setValue. The int argument is the number of values you will 
set in that shape.
    I know this was changed for the SWIG versions of mapscript, I am not 
sure about it on the PHP front, but someone will correct me if its not 
the case.

    Cheers,

    Rodrigo
