Setting attributes of shapes on php-mapscript

[Daniel Morissette]

I'm not sure about SWIG MapScript, but in PHP MapScript, the 
shape->values[] array is read-only and there is no way to set the 
values[] with PHP MapScript.

If working with a shapefile then the recommended way to update 
attributes is to use the PHP dbase functions as was pointed out in 
another post earlier in this thread.
