As a freelancer working alone, I've got to wear all the hats, doing all the front end and back end design and development. So perhaps I'm never really specializing in any one thing, and I tend to miss some good stuff, like MySQL GROUP BY. Doing counts of things using GROUP BY is very handy. I saw somebody doing that in a thread, and adapted it to two things that I was working on in the last week. Sweet!   What other fun MySQL stuff am I missing out on?

Hi there.

I am working on a PHP web form and trying to implement search functionality. It is called Search-as-you-Type.

For example, when we do a search in facebook, we get all the pictures and names of the people. in a drop-down like style. I believe this is implemented using some AJAX.

Please see the screenshot I've attached.

Could any one please share the code or give me some advice on how I can accomplish this.

Thank you!
