Hi Piyush,

Some hints to debug the problem.

Have you tested by querying the layer directly and not the all map ? 

   $layer1 = $map->getlayerbyname("cotton");
   $check  = $layer1->queryByPoint($mypoint,MS_MULTIPLE, 20);

What about the toleranceunits of the layer  ?

    $layer1->set("toleranceunits",MS_METERS);

Remove the @ so that you does not hide errors coming from the queryByPoint method.

Are you sure they are some points under your fake click ?

Here is a link with a working example : http://www.itae.be/gis/querying-dynamic-point-layer-with-php-mapscript.html
