External form and $.ajax

Permalink
Im trying to populate a chained select with ajax but im getting a error as you can see in the attachment. im working with external forms and i have the following code:

Teste - external form
<?php   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied.")); 
Loader::Helper('form');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php  echo $this->getThemePath()?>/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!--http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js... -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
  $("#parent_category").change(function()
  {
    var pc_id = $(this).val();


and the db.php file wich the function in external form uses.
<?php   
if(isset($_POST['pc_id']) && $_POST['pc_id'] != '')
{
  $pc_id = $_POST['pc_id'];
  $pc_id = mysql_real_escape_string($pc_id);
  $query = "SELECT condisciplinas.Cod_disciplinas, condisciplinas.Nome_disciplinas, concursos.Cod_curso
FROM condisciplinas INNER JOIN (concursos INNER JOIN concursodisciplina ON concursos.Cod_curso = concursodisciplina.Curso) ON condisciplinas.Cod_disciplinas = concursodisciplina.Disciplina WHERE (((concursos.Cod_curso)='".$pc_id."'))";
  $res = mysql_query($query);
  if(mysql_num_rows($res))
  {
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
   {
     echo "<option value='".$row['Cod_disciplinas']."'>".ucfirst($row['Nome_disciplinas'])."</option>";
   }
  }

Hi ranonymus,

It seems your sql query is not returning valid sql resource. First check your sql query and connection. Accoding to your code you have not set your sql connection.

Thanks
