dropdown list box like below

2,Tony,Australia,054,Laptop
3,Kumara,India,548,keyboard
5,Lusinda,Italy,758,book

all rows which include with “I” letter.

In next step “In”

3,Kumara,India,548,keyboard

will remain and others will goes out.

I can try to autocomplete with jquery.
Some one please help me to select data from table and add into array

Answer 1

How about this??

For ‘i’

SELECT * 
FROM customdata
WHERE CONCAT(CustomerName, ' ', Country,' ',Item) like '%i%';

For ‘in’

SELECT *
FROM customdata
WHERE CONCAT(CustomerName, ' ', Country,' ',Item) like '%In%';

You just need to do changes in like '%in%'

If you want case-sensitive search, use BINARY after WHERE statement.

SELECT *
FROM customdata
WHERE BINARY CONCAT(CustomerName, ' ', Country,' ',Item) like '%In%';

Demo

NOTE : When you type in, you will get id=5 data aslo with id=3 as in is present
in CustomerName Lus in da.

Update 1

In PHP code will be

$mySearch = $_POST['mySearchHTMLVariable'];

$query="SELECT * 
        FROM customdata
        WHERE CONCAT(CustomerName, ' ', Country,' ',Item) like '%$mySearch%'";

Please do changes as per your requirement.
