so I'm trying to get some info in the auto-complete widget like it's shown in the JQuery UI demo Demo, the only problem is they use a variable that they fill with the data they want to show, I instead want to access the data and the different description and stuff using a Data Base in MySQL, for this I have changed the source to use another php page that looks up the info. here is the code for the Auto-complete, I really don't understand the methods so I haven't changed it from the basic search.

This is the JS:

$(document).ready((function(){
            $( "#completa" ).autocomplete({
        source: "buscar.php",
        minLength: 1,
                    focus: function (event, ui){
                        $("#completa").val(ui.item.val);
                        return false;
                    };
        }));

This is what I have in buscar.php:

<?php

    $conec = mysql_connect(localhost, root, admin);
    if(!$conec)
    {
        die(mysql_error());
    }
    else
    {
        $bd = mysql_select_db("ve_test",$conec );
        if(!$bd)
        {
            die(mysql_error());
        }
    }

$termino = trim(strip_tags($_GET['term']));//Obtener el termino que envia el autocompletar

$qstring = "SELECT name, descripcion FROM VE_table WHERE name LIKE '%".$termino."%'";
$result = mysql_query($qstring);//Solicitud a la Base de Datos

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))//Realizar un LOOP sobre los valores obtenidos
{
                $row['value']=htmlentities(stripslashes($row['name']));
                $row_set[] = $row;//build an array
}
echo json_encode($row_set);//Enviar los datos al autocompletar en codificacion JSON, Altamente Necesario.

?>
