Set Initial Selection
To set initial selected value during page load, use set_init_selection() method. The parameter must be an object array with both “id” and “text” properties. You can use it to set initial selected value for both <select> and <input type=”hidden”>, single or multiple selection.
For example:
Example: Set initial multiple selection for <input type=”hidden”>
<?php
$data = array(array('id'=>1, 'text'=>'Apple'),
array('id'=>2, 'text'=>'Google'),
array('id'=>3, 'text'=>'Microsoft'),
array('id'=>4, 'text'=>'Facebook'),
array('id'=>5, 'text'=>'Twitter'));
$pac = new C_PhpAutocomplete('init_selection_INPUT', $data);
$pac->enable_multiple(true); // hidden input only
$pac->set_init_selection(array(
array("id"=>"1", "text"=>"Apple"),
array("id"=>"5", "text"=>"Twitter")));
$pac->display();
?>
<input id="init_selection_INPUT" type="hidden" value="" />
<script>
function get_init_selection(ctrl_id){
alert($(ctrl_id).select2("val"));
return false;
