ajax post error when calling for hourly/daily/weekly/monthly data

[koveras vehcna]

I have a heat map application on OpenLayers (using XAMPP 1.8.0 and MySQL) 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(errorMsg);
       }


  });

  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

Line 8, you may need a port number for your URL? Such as http://localhost:8080/...

[koveras vehcna]

I added the localhost8080 to the url for the php file and now I always get an error message -regardless of any selection including visualize all data-, though this message says [object XMLHttpRequest] as the error message. What could that be about?

[Taywin]

No no, I mean you need to have a port number that your Server is listening to in that line. The port number 8080 is common used in Apache server in development environment. I do not know how you set up your server, so I gave you the most port number...

[koveras vehcna]

Well according to the httpd.conf file in the xampp/apache folder, it listens to port 80 but adding http://localhost:80 didn't solve the problem, still getting the same error I mentioned in my previous post. I ran out of ideas for this one..

[koveras vehcna]

Another weird thing is that the mysqld.exe process actually works for a while (consuming a 10-15 % of the CPU) before Chrome gives me the error.

[Taywin]

If you get [object XMLHttpRequest], it means you get the respond back but you attempt to display the object... You need to either call .responseText or .responseXml from the ajax (xml) object you created.

I will look into it and post an update, thanks.
