Starting point is to ensure that the php_mapscript.so was complied for
the same version of PHP you are running. With the php extensions, the
static components need to match. 20131226 suggests quite an old php build!

My next step would be to check php can actually see the .so file, but
properly compiled extensions should already be in the right place.
