jarv Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 hi, here is my AutoComplete: http://www.mypubspace.com/phpsite/autoComplete/ At the moment it searched through rsPubName (Pub Names) and outputs Pub Name and rsTown(Town) aswell I would like for the user to type a town and it show all pubs in that town?! here is the PHP code <?php // PHP5 Implementation - uses MySQLi. // mysqli('localhost', 'yourUsername', 'yourPassword', 'yourDatabase'); $db = new mysqli('***', '***' ,'***', '***'); if(!$db) { // Show error if we cannot connect. echo 'ERROR: Could not connect to the database.'; } else { // Is there a posted query string? if(isset($_POST['queryString'])) { $queryString = $db->real_escape_string($_POST['queryString']); // Is the string length greater than 0? if(strlen($queryString) >0) { // Run the query: We use LIKE '$queryString%' // The percentage sign is a wild-card, in my example of countries it works like this... // $queryString = 'Uni'; // Returned data = 'United States, United Kindom'; // YOU NEED TO ALTER THE QUERY TO MATCH YOUR DATABASE. // eg: SELECT yourColumnName FROM yourTable WHERE yourColumnName LIKE '$queryString%' LIMIT 10 $query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM pubs WHERE rsPubName LIKE '$queryString%' LIMIT 10"); if($query) { // While there are results loop through them - fetching an Object (i like PHP5 btw!). while ($result = $query ->fetch_object()) { // Format the results, im using <li> for the list, you can change it. // The onClick function fills the textbox with the result. // YOU MUST CHANGE: $result->value to $result->your_colum echo '<li onClick="fill(\''.$result->rsPubName.', '.$result->rsTown.'\');">'.$result->rsPubName.', '.$result->rsTown.'</li>'; } } else { echo 'ERROR: There was a problem with the query.'; } } else { // Dont do anything. } // There is a queryString. } else { echo 'There should be no direct access to this script!'; } } ?> and the Javascript <script type="text/javascript"> function lookup(inputString) { if(inputString.length == 0) { // Hide the suggestion box. $('#suggestions').hide(); } else { $.post("rpc.php", {queryString: ""+inputString+""}, function(data){ if(data.length >0) { $('#suggestions').show(); $('#autoSuggestionsList').html(data); } }); } } // lookup function fill(thisValue) { $('#inputString').val(thisValue); setTimeout("$('#suggestions').hide();", 200); } </script> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/216545-need-autocomplete-to-search-through-towns-aswell/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
