select2 to redirect on click - php

Question

I am using the select 2 plugin to search for users. Everything is up an running an my jsons end up with: [{"id":"1","text":"Alex Fagard (afagard) ID: 1"}] .etc.
I am using the following code to build the select 2 interface:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#username-search').select2({
minimumInputLength: 2,
select: function(event, ui) {
AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui)
},
ajax: {
url: "classes/search.class.php?sType=users",
dataType: 'json',
data: function (term, page) {
return {
term: term
};
},
results: function (data, page) {
return { results: data };
}
}
});
});
However I am stuck on how to make it so that when the admin selects a user (aka clicks on their dropdown area) the page redirects to userview.php?id=1 where 1 is the id from the JSON array.
Search function if anyone is interested:
public function searchUsers($term = '') {
if (isset($term)) {
$term = parent::secure($term);
$params = array( ':searchQ' => $term . '%' );
$sql = "SELECT distinct username as suggest, user_id, name
FROM login_users
WHERE username LIKE :searchQ
OR name LIKE :searchQ
OR user_id LIKE :searchQ
ORDER BY username
LIMIT 0, 5";
$stmt = parent::query($sql, $params);
if ( $stmt->rowCount() > 0 ) {
while($suggest = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$data[] = array(
'id' => $suggest['user_id'],
'text' => $suggest['name'] . ' (' . $suggest['suggest'] . ')' . ' ID: ' . $suggest['user_id'],
);
}
} else {
$data[] = array('id'=>'0', 'text'=>'No results found!');
}
echo json_encode($data);
flush();
}
}
$searchParam = new Search();
if (isset($_GET['term'])) {
// we secure the term before running the search and querying the database
$term = $_GET['term'];
switch (isset($_GET['sType']) ? $_GET['sType'] : NULL) {
case 'users':
$searchParam->searchUsers($term);
break;
case 'levels':
$searchParam->searchLevels($term);
break;
}
}

Version 4.0 +
Events are now in format: select2:selecting (instead of select2-selecting)
$("#search").on("select2:selecting", function(e) {
window.location.href = 'user_edit.php?id=' + e.val;
});

Answer 2

Came across the same question a year after posting this and googled something and ended up here forgetting I ever posted it in the first place.
Well found a solution:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#search").select2({
ajax: {
url: "users.php",
dataType: 'json',
data: function (term) {
return {
term: term,
};
},
results: function (data) {
return {results: data};
}
}
});
$("#search").on("select2:selecting", function(e) {
window.location.href = 'user_edit.php?id=' + e.val;
});
});
</script>
Event name is select2:selecting
