Your First Autcomplete
In conf.php, simply set PAC_PATH representing the relative or absolute URL to the PHP Autocomplete library.
Assuming phpAutocomplete folder is inside the web root:
Then include conf.php in on top of the every page.
require_once("../conf.php");
All PHP Autocomplete code will require minimum two lines of PHP code.
$pac = new C_PhpAutocomplete('company');
$pac -> display('SELECT');
$pac -> display('SELECT');
- The first line is to create our PHP Autocomplete object by calling the constructor;
- the 1st parameter is the unique ID to an existing Select tag
- The second line is to call display method to render control on the screen.
The complete code:
<?php
require_once("../conf.php");
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>PHP Autocomplete Intro</title>
