garry Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Not with PHP and mysql, you'd need ajax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3ktlk Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 ajax is for asp correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Nope, you can use ajax in conjunction with PHP and mysql. Do some google searches on it, it is definitely possible. Unfortunately I don't know much more than that (still learning) so I can't help you any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No. AJAX is javascript. Asynchronous Javascript And XML. You can use whatever server language you wish. If you google, im sure you'll find plenty of auto-suggest tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
