I'm trying to populate a third set of radiobuttons as an addition to the following script: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/json-data-jquery-php-radio-buttons/

For some reason I cannot seem to fill the third set with the corresponding data. It just stays blank :(

Calling the populateFruittype() function only gives back [ ], while populateFruitVariety() returns the json data correctly.

getdata.php (DB connection / fetching data)

<?php

$dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydb";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);   

$rows = array();

if(isset($_GET['fruitName'])) {
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT variety FROM fruit WHERE name = ? ORDER BY variety");
    $stmt->execute(array($_GET['fruitName']));
    $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}

if(isset($_GET['fruitVariety'] )) {
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT DISTINCT fruittype FROM fruit WHERE variety = ? ORDER BY fruittype");
    $stmt->execute(array($_GET['fruitVariety']));
    $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}

echo json_encode($rows);

?>

The DB query and content can be found here: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/mysql-example-table/

Just add:

`fruittype` varchar(50) NOT NULL

and fill it with some custom values.

1) DB uddate

ALTER TABLE fruit ADD COLUMN `fruittype` varchar(50) NOT NULL;
UPDATE fruit SET fruittype = 'description' /* WHERE name = 'Apple'*/;

2) code update

    $(document).ready(function() {

            $.getJSON('test.php', {fruitName: fruitName}, function(fruit) {
                var html = '';
                $.each(fruit, function(index, array) {

        $('input[name=fruitVariety]').live('click', function() {

Obviously you will have to update all the records with the right fruittype. Here I just use the same for all for demo purposes.
