php_mapscript.so should be in your php extensions library
(e.g. /usr/lib/php/ext/). You can check whether it's loaded by opening
a file containing phpinfo(); and located on your server.
You can use this file from mapserver tarball:
mapserver-4.x.x/mapscript/php3/examples/phpinfo_mapscript.phtml 

In your example, something tries to run dl() on ./php_mapscript.so
instead of php_mapscript.so (i.e. it looks for the file in working
directory instead of the PHP path), maybe that's why it fails. Try
fixing precache.php first if that is the case.

Hope that helps,
