Historically, PHP mapscript was a little bit different from the SWIG 
mapscript variants. They are very close but not exactly the same for all 
things. In the next major release I believe PHP 7 will also be supported 
under the SWIG version. I believe that the plan is to keep the old 
legacy php mapscript for backwards compatibility but deprecate it, but 
don't hold me to that.

Hope this helps,
