Shiva,

Please always reply to the list not to me personally.  First of all I 
think you could use ms4w 2.2.6 and Chameleon 2.6.0-rc1 on maptools.org.  
I see that you change something in sample_basic.phtml.  Try to execute 
the sample_basic application without changing anything and tell me if 
you get any php errors.

About the application you want to build I think it's feasible but I'm 
not an expert.  If I understand correctly a user will click an area on 
the map and information about the soil type will be displayed.  From 
that, the user will then enter the soil type in a field, push a button 
and a search will be performed in a database.  Is that it?  Maybe some 
other developers on the list may confirm that this can be done with 
Chameleon.
