Livesearch php and ajax

  <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="UTF-8">
 <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script> //ur getting the jquery via online
 <script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#textBoxId").change(function() //triggers when you change the value in your textbox
    {
       var value = $(this).val(); //gets the value of your textbox
       $.post("search.php", {id:value},function(data)
           $("#results").append(data);
        }); 
    }
 });
</script>
</head>
<body>
 <input type="text" id="textBoxId"/>
<br>
<div id="results"></div>
</body>
</html>

And in your php:

<?php
mysqli_connect("localhost", "#", "#") or die(mysqli_connect_errno());
mysql_select_db("#") or die(mysql_error());
$search = $_POST['id'];
$returnData = ""; 
$players = mysql_query("SELECT firstname FROM players WHERE firstname LIKE '%search%'");
while($player = mysql_fetch_array($players)) {
    $returnData .= "<div>" . $players["firstname"] . "</div>";
}
echo $returnData;

Measuring PHP Page Load Time

Put the following code at the very top of your PHP page (if you measure the time needed for particular part of the code put this right before that PHP code part)

<?php

$time = microtime();

$time = explode(' ', $time);

$time = $time[1] + $time[0];

$start = $time;

?>

The following code has to be put at the very end of the web page (or the end of the PHP code part)

<?php

$time = microtime();

$time = explode(' ', $time);

$time = $time[1] + $time[0];

$finish = $time;

$total_time = round(($finish - $start), 4);

echo 'Page generated in '.$total_time.' seconds.';

?>
