How can I add link to json_encode? - php

Question

How can I add clickable link to json_encode?
I did a multiple query auto complete textbox with jquery. Maybe that's not the correct way how to do multiple queries but that's works anyway.
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=".DB_SERVER.";port=3306;dbname=".DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM azonositok WHERE guid LIKE :term');
$stmt->execute(array('term' => '%'.$_GET['term'].'%'));
while($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
$return_arr[] = $row['guid']; /// I want to link to http://example.com/guid.php
}
$stmt1 = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM felhasznalok WHERE fnev LIKE :term');
$stmt1->execute(array('term' => '%'.$_GET['term'].'%'));
while($row1 = $stmt1->fetch()) {
$return_arr[] = $row1['fnev']; /// I want to link to http://example.com/profile.php
}
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo 'HIBA: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
echo json_encode($return_arr);
}

You'll have to add a function to execute on selection of an item in the autocomplete widget's dropdown list.
This is done with the select property as follows:
$(".auto").autocomplete({
source: "search.php",
minLength: 1,
select: function(event, ui) {
window.location.href = ui.item.value;
}
});
This changes the current window's location to the selected item's value.
EDIT:
To change the default behavior where the value is displayed on focus/select to display the label instead, you could try:
$(".auto").autocomplete({
source: "search.php",
minLength: 1,
select: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
$('.auto').val(ui.item.label);
window.location.href = ui.item.value;
},
focus: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
$('.auto').val(ui.item.label);
}
});
