Ah HA! I just clued into the fact that the parameters for getShape() are
in the opposite order from those in getFeature(). Doh! When I pass them
in the proper order getShape works fine. Damn computers; they're just so
picky about the details...

Keeping the SWIG and PHP versions of MapScript sync'd has always been a
challenge so it's possible
it didn't get added until 4.10.1 or later. At 4.10.0 you should have getShape
which works the same
as getFeature (they wrap the same C code) but with getShape you must pass a
tile index in addition
to the shape index. Usually it's just:
$shape = $layer->getShape(-1, $shpindex);

getFeature doesn't seem to be defined in version 4.10.0. When I try to
use it I get an error message that says it's undefined. Is this a recent
change, or should it be there?

getFeature is the method to use to retreive a feature from a layer. It is a
layer method and
exists for both PHP and the SWIG-based bindings. It replaces the getShape
method which
I created with stupid parameter orderings that made it impossible to not pass a
tile index.
I see that it is missing from the PHP/MapScript docs but is present in the Swig
docs. I'll file
a ticket on that one... There's already a note at the bottom of the page but it
hasn't been
noticed.
