Autocomplete Search System Using PHP, JQuery


 

First of all make database named it "search"

Demo Download Demo link is not working please try again later.


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `search` (
  `post_id` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  `post_title` varchar(266) NOT NULL
);


 

Now Copy Index.php codes below 



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Search system using PHP OOP - Meralesson.com</title>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"/>
 </head>
<body>
   <div class="div-center">
        <div class="inner">
         <ul>
            <h2>Meralesson</h2>
               <form action="" method="post">
                 <input type="text"  autocomplete="off" class="search" name="search" placehoder="Search..">
                 <span><input type="submit" name="submit" class="button"  value="Search" /></span>
               </form>
             <li><ul class="result">  
            </ul>
            </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="content">
        </div>
      </div>
  <script type="text/javascript"src="js/jquery.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript"src="js/search.js"></script>
</body>
</html>


 

Copy search. is below, I make a function using keyup () function, So when user type something in the search field then this function gets search data from database using Ajax
search.js 



$(document).ready(function(){
 //check if something typed in search field
 $('.search').keyup(function(){
     //bind search text into variable  
  var search = $(this).val();
  //then get data from database
  $.post('ajax/search.php',{search:search},function(data){
      //show return data 
   $('.result').html(data);
   //if user backspace then hide result 
    if(search==""){
    $(".result").html("");
    } 
    //if user clicked on result then add into search field
   $('.result li').click(function(){
    var result = $(this).text();
    $('.search').val( result);
    $('.result li').hide();
   }); 
   });
});    

 

Now move on ajax make search.php in ajax folder copy and paste all code from below,


<?php 
 include '../core/init.php';
 $get = new main;
        //checking if post
 if(isset($_POST['search']) == true){
  $value = $_POST['search'];
                //Now get data from search php function
  $row = $get->search($value);
     foreach ($row as $search) {
          echo '
  • '.$search['post_title'].'
  • '; } } ?>

     

    This is our main class that hold our all functions.

    
    <?php
     class Main{
      public function search($value){
       global $pdo;
       //get data from database 
                $query = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM `search` WHERE `post_title` LIKE ?  ");
       $query->bindValue(1,$value.'%');
        $query->execute();
       return $query->fetchAll();
      }
     }
    
     ?>
    
    

     

    In the last step just copy all css to make the search system looks better

    *{
        margin: 0px;
        padding 0px;
        color: #333;
    }
    .div-center{
        margin: 0px auto;
        width:600px;
        height: auto;
        margin: 20% auto;
    }
    input[type="text"]{
        width: 400px;
        padding: 7px;
        margin: 4px;
        border:1px solid #ccc;
    }
    ul{
        list-style: none;
        background: white;
    }
    h2{
        font-size: 35px;
        margin-left: 150px;
        color: #3A3A3A;
    
    }
    .button{
        width: 100px;
        padding: 7px;
        background: white;
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
        font-family: san-sarif;
        
    }
    .button:hover,.button:active{
        border:2px solid skyblue;
        
    }
    ul li > ul{
        background: white;
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
        border-top: none;
        border-bottom: none;
        margin: -4px 4px;
        width: 414px;
        padding: 0px;
        color: #ADA5A5;
        font-family: sans-serif;
        font-size: 14px;
    }
    ul li > ul li{
        border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 5px 3px;
        color: #847D7D;
    }
    
    ul li > ul li:hover{
         color:#fff;
        cursor: pointer;
     }
    
     ul li > ul li a{
        text-decoration: none;
    }
