Hi,

I'm looking for a tutorial or some help to figure out how to create a live search using AJAX and PHP.

Ive found this artice, which seems to be what im looking for...
http://ajaxpatterns.org/Live_Search

And this
http://www.mybigriver.com/
Which is exactly the idea im looking for....

Although i dont want to search for books on amazon,
I have a MySQL database with a number of records in which is what I want to search on...

Could anybody push me in the right direction to find some help on this? either where to look for a Tutorial, or the things I should be searching for in Ajax or google to give it a go....

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place,
Cheers,
Ash

Well you need to start by identifying what you will be searching on and then creating a suitable SQL query that fetches the appropriate records given a search term. Then you'll need to create a web service that wraps this query. It will accept the term and return a representation of the results, either as XML or JSON if you wish to stick with current standards.
