In order to see if your javascript is sending an ajax call, I always start with the php file it's calling set to this:

<?php
echo 'made it';
?>

When I get the return message I then place the correct info into the file.

I just checked your main file. It does not call the php Made It file! Problem is in the queryString

var queryString = "?postcode=" + postcode + "&provincie=" + provincie + "&aland=" + aland + "&gland=" +gland +"&minAge=" + minAge +"&maxAge=" + maxAge + "&sex=" + sex;

You were using the wrong identifiers.

If the call still does not work for you change this line:

xmlhttp.send();

To:

xmlhttp.send('');

I have never got the thing to work with an empty nor the word 'null' in the parentheses.

Try that and after you get 'made it' in the "txtHint" div THEN use your php file.

Hej sunfighter thanks man! it works. I appreciate your help!

but i find it strange that it didn't work when i assigned the wrong value in the querystring because i was not using that value yet in my sql command
