thinker

Use jQuery to give suggestions as typing in an input box

To Use

Include the thinker.js file after jQuery Example <script src="thinker.js"></script> Set thinker to desired input box Example

$("#inputboxid").thinker();

Create a thinker.php file where server side processing is done using the sent data 'key' and 'maxResults' return with key 'items' as a JSON type. Use your own custom way of filtering through data, as in below is searches the array to see if it contains the 'key'. Example thinker.php

  <?php 
  $items_to_check = ["Cheese", "Chili", "Hamburger", "Ham Sandwich"];
  $result = array();
  $txtkey = strtolower($_POST['key']);

  for ($x = 0; $x < sizeof($items_to_check); $x++) {
    $lcase = strtolower($items_to_check[$x]);
    if (strpos($lcase, $txtkey) !== false) { 
        $result[] = $items_to_check[$x];
    }
  // Encode and put key as 'items' so thinker.js can find the data
  echo json_encode(array('items' => $result));
  ?>
