I created this plugin because I was not happy with any of the other ones. This plugin will give you simple, clean autocomplete functionality on the selected text box.
Here’s the code:
HTML File:
<form id="myform"> <input type="text" name="my_textbox" id="my_textbox" /> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- $(function() { var data = { fn : 'lookup' }; var options = { min_length : 3, error_responses : [ "No results.", "Too many results." ] }; $("#suggest").suggest("search.php", data, options); }); --> </script>
Example server-side PHP script, search.php:
`<?php // Prevent caching header(“Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate”); // HTTP/1.1 header(“Expires: Jan 1, 2000”); // Date in the past $fn = $_GET[‘fn’]; $allowed_fns = array(‘lookup’); if (!in_array($fn, $allowed_fns)) { exit; } print call_user_func($fn);
function lookup() { $q = valueIfSet($_GET[‘q’]); $attrs = array(“uid”, “givenname”, “sn”); $filter = “level03=95C”; try { $results = your_ldap_lookup_function($q, $attrs, $filter, true, , 1); } catch (Exception $e) { return “Too many results.”; } if (count($results) === ) { return “No results.”; } $list = array(); foreach ($results as $result) { $sn = $result[‘sn’]; $gn = $result[‘givenname’]; $uid = $result[‘uid’]; $name = “$sn, $gn ($uid)”; array_push($list, $name); } return implode(“\n”, $list); } ?>`
