Welcome to MS4W, the no fuss installer for setting up MapServer on Microsoft Windows platforms. The

// This example script shows how MapScript and the PHP DBase module
// can be used to create new Shapefile datasets.
//
// The optional DBase module must be loaded for this to work:
//  - On Windows, use dl("php3_dbase.dll")
//  - On Unix, configure PHP with the --with-dbase switch and recompile it.
//

// Load MapScript
dl("php_mapscript.so");
