Redraw google chart based on user input via AJAX request

I have a google chart pulling data from my database that works as I want it to. Based on a get request in the URL it draws the data from the selected table.

I want make this chart update via ajax based on a selected table from a drop down menu. The part I can't break through on is getting the data to be responsive via ajax. I think the below code is close, but I'm getting the below error that I can't seem to get rid of.

getdata.php:22 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defineddrawVisualization @ getdata.php:22onchange @ getdata.php:47

I tried removing the GET request from the getdata.php and hard coding a table in thinking that was the $not defined, but that didn't resolve the error.

recommend using php to get json in the form that google accepts

following is a full example for using ajax to get json data from php and draw a google chart

php 

<?php
  require("dbconnect.php");

  $db = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password);
  mysql_select_db($database);

  $sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM ".$_GET['q']." WHERE Date(Time + INTERVAL 10 HOUR) = Date(UTC_TIMESTAMP() + INTERVAL 10 HOUR)";
  $sqlResult = mysql_query($sqlQuery);

  $rows = array();
  $table = array();

  $table['cols'] = array(
      array('label' => 'Time', 'type' => 'string'),
      array('label' => 'Wind_Speed', 'type' => 'number'),
      array('label' => 'Wind_Gust', 'type' => 'number')
  );

  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sqlResult)) {
    $temp = array();
    $temp[] = array('v' => (string) $row['Time']);
    $temp[] = array('v' => (float) $row['Wind_Speed']);
    $temp[] = array('v' => (float) $row['Wind_Gust']);
    $rows[] = array('c' => $temp);
  }

  $table['rows'] = $rows;

  echo json_encode($table);
?>

and do not recommend using --> async: false
or inline event handlers --> <select name="users" onchange="drawVisualization(this.value)">

also, hAxis and vAxis should only appear once in chart options
