Answer 1

here is how I used an onchange method to stimulate a MYSQL query and have the Highchart display the result. The major problem was that the returned JSON array was a string that needed to be converted into an INT. The resultArray variable is then used in the data: portion of the highChart.

$(function(){
  $("#awayTeam").change(function(){ 
    $.ajax({
    type: "POST",    
    data: "away=" + $("#awayRunner").val(),
    dataType: "json",
    url: "/getCharts.php",
    success: function(response){
          var arrayLength = response.length;
          var resultArray = [];
          var i = 0;
          while(i

In the PHP code, the array must be returned as JSON like this

echo json_encode($awayRunner);
