If I were to improve on the tutorial, I’ll probably do a bit more than making it work with the DB. It’ll probably involve making the auto-complete function such that the auto-complete will exclude currently logged-in user.

Having said that, I won’t be doing it soon though – quite tied up with work. If and when more people ask for it, I’ll probably work on it sooner rather than later.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input. You are right – it wasn’t written for the beginner to Zend cos I figured the beginner wouldn’t be looking to do auto-complete right at the get-go. So I had assumed some basic knowledge of the reader to begin with. That’s why I had left the invitation to post questions at the end of the article.

You’re also right in that the article isn’t explicit enough in the sense of a step-by-step tutorial. But the keen eye will notice that I did indicate the name of the file above the “foreach” loop.

Under the section “Explanation”, below the “View” subsection, I also stated that the extension has to be “ajax.phtml”. With my assumption of basic knowledge by the reader, I guess it should make sense.

I had thought of providing the source code, but because each file is so short, I concluded that it would be quite redundant. Furthermore, the files have to be in the right location for it to make sense.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I have already corrected it.

Thanks again and cheers
