Each shape can be projected using the following.

The shape¹s current projection.  (epsg 2266 in this case.)
$insridtext="proj=lcc,lat_1=47.48333333333333,lat_2=46.18333333333333,lat_0=
45.66666666666666,lon_0=-100.5,x_0=599999.9999976,y_0=0,ellps=GRS80,datum=NA
D83,to_meter=0.3048,no_defs";
The projection you want the shape to be.  (epsg 4269 in this case)
$outsridtext="+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +no_defs";

$projin = ms_newProjectionObj($insridtext);
$projout = ms_newProjectionObj($outsridtext);
$shptemp->project($projin,$projout);
