Question

I have a heat map application on OpenLayers where user enters two date and time intervals and selects whether he/she would like to view all the data between those two datetimes or view them based on hourly/daily/weekly/monthly intervals. However, when I type in two date and times as input and try to visualize the data, I can only visualize all the data between those two intervals. Whenever I choose hourly, daily, weekly etc from my HTML drop down menu and press fetch queries button, I get an Error in Ajax POST message. What could be the cause here? The codes are below:

The HTML Post part:

$(document).ready(function(){

 // ajaxForm submission
 $('#ajaxForm').submit(function() {
  $.ajax({
   type: 'POST',
   url: 'heatQuery.php',
   //url: 'http://localhost/heatQuery.php',
   data: $(this).serialize(),
   dataType: 'json',
   success: function(response)
   {   
       // update the points for heatmap layer          
       updateHeatMap(response);

   },
   error: function(errorMsg)
   {
       alert('Error in Ajax POST');
       }


  });

  return false;
 });
});

The PHP Part:

setupDB.php

<?php

$mysql_hostname = "localhost";
$mysql_user = "myuser";
$mysql_password = "mypassword";
$mysql_database = "mydatabase";
$bd = mysql_connect($mysql_hostname, $mysql_user) or die("Oops some thing went wrong");
    mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $bd) or die("Oops some thing went wrong");

?>

heatQuery.php

<?php
include 'setupDB.php';

    if($result)
    {
        $num_of_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
        if($num_of_rows > 0)
        {

            {

EDIT:

Per bPratik’s request, I’m also placing the alternative post error for HTML code that includes the error I get from the server:

error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
   {

       alert('Error in Ajax POST\ntextStatus: ' + textStatus + '\nerrorThrown: ' + errorThrown);
    }

Despite putting this, I only get the Error in AJAX Post message. The weird thing is, the mysqld.exe process runs for a while -apparently it actually retrieves the queries meanwhile- and then I get the message.

Solved the issue some time ago, will post details soon.
