jQuery无法通过带有Phonegap应用程序的AWS在PHP上将本地存储传递给PostgreSQL

I am slightly new to programming, I have had a few friends help me out with getting my Phone Gap app to post local storage to Postgres via PHP. When I had the PHP hosted on a local server, the jQuery was connecting to the PHP page and posting correctly to my Postgres database.

However, as soon as I migrated everything over to AWS, the jquery was unable to connect to (or find?) the PHP page.

My jQuery function is as follows

function submitForm() {
var string = localStorage.getItem("entry");
$.get("http://www.mywebsite.com/get.php", { q: string } ).done( function() { window.location = "#/app/thanks";}).fail( function() { alert('Please check your Internet connection and try again.'); });
return 1;
}    

and my PHP

<?php


$query = $_GET['q'];

$array = explode("|", $query);

$species = explode(",", $array[2]);

$array2 = explode(",", $array[3]);


$i = 0;

$db = pg_connect("host=<aws db endpoint> port=5432 dbname=database user=postgres password=<my    password>) or die('Could not connect: ' . pg_last_error());

for($i=0;$i<10;$i+=2) {
    if($i == 0) {
        $fishKept = $array2[1];
        $hoursFished = $array2[2];
}
else {
    $fishKept = 0;
    $hoursFished = 0;
    }
    $q = "INSERT INTO creel(waterbody_id, species, species_length_id, fish_caught, fish_kept,     hours_fished, date) VALUES('".$array[0]."', '".$array[1]."', '".$species[$i]."', '".$species[$i+1]."', '".$fishKept."', '".$hoursFished."', '".$array2[0]."');";
    $result = pg_query($db, $q);

}
pg_close($db);
?>

When I try to run the function, it gives me the alert "Please check your internet connection and try again", which tells me the function is failing. Currently the php is in /var/www/html on my AWS server. Does the PHP need to be in a certain place? I didn't change any of the code, so I do not see why it would work for posting to the local server but not AWS.

I have my Postgres database set up using RDS, and I am able to connect to it with pgAdminIII on my computer, so I do not think it is a security issue.

I believe I have all my login info correct for Postgres, but it doesn't seem to be running the PHP at all.
