Error with my dojo ajax php request - php

Question

Im trying to use a dojo ajax function to call a PHP file that then returns the contents of a DB table in JSON format.
My function:
var _getWeatherInfo = function(){
dojo.xhrget({
url: "PHP/weather.php?ntown=" + _ntown,
handleAs: "json",
timeout: 5000,
load: function(responce, details) {
_updateWeathertData
},
error: function(error_msg, details) {
_handleError(error_msg);
}
});
}
My PHP:
<?php include('configHome.php'); ?>
<?php
$ntown = $_GET['ntown'];
$weather = array();
$query="SELECT * FROM `weather` WHERE `town` = '$ntown'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$weather[] = $row[0];
}
echo json_encode($weather);
mysql_close();
?>
When using this code I am getting an error message saying that "$ntown = $_GET['ntown'];" is an undefined index. I have tried removing the index all together and using an actual value in the select statement (i.e. SELECT * FROM weather WHERE town = 'Auckland') but all I get back is the value i enter ["Auckland"], and not the 3 other values that are meant to be returned, ["Auckland", "Sunny", "8", "14"].
Any ideas? I can try add more info if needed. Thanks!

There are some other issues with your code, but to get to the one you are asking the question about. You have this:
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$weather[] = $row[0];
}
What you are doing is just taking the first value of the row (of which there is probably only one, and just sending that back. This is what you need:
$weather = mysql_fetch_row($result);
