    Quoting the documentation of Autocomplete :

    the Autocomplete plugin expects that
    string to point to a URL resource that
    will return JSON data.

    So, instead of your code, you should use something like this :

    <?php
$arrResults = array('option 1', 'option 2', 'option 3');
echo json_encode($arrResults);
?>

    The [**`json_encode()`**][2] function will return the JSON string that corresponds to your array.
