Suggestive Search

During my time at working at Manchester Metropolitan University I wanted to find a suggestive search for a project to help CPD students find what they wanted. I came accross Marco’s Apple.com Style Suggestive Search however it was built for PHP5 and the servers were (and still are) running PHP4 – which makes progressive development hard.

I decided to reimplement his code to work without mysqli so it works on with PHP4, you can download my version here. Note that to make it work with your database you’ll have to edit SystemComponent.php and follow Marco’s guide for the rest of it.

Also you can find my implementation at: http://www.ioe.mmu.ac.uk/cpd/ using the ‘Search the PDP Courses and Units’
