I have changed the code using jquery its simple . You can try it.

index.html

    <html>
    <head>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $(function()
            {
                $("#Userinput").keyup(function()
                {
                    process();
                });
                $("#Userinput").keydown(function()
                {
                    process();
                });

                $("#Userinput").focus(function()
                {
                    process();
                });
                $("#Userinput").change(function()
                {
                    process();
                });
            });

            function process() {
                var input_food = $("#Userinput").val();
                $.ajax({
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "foodstore.php",
                    data: {food: input_food},
                    success: function(message)
                    {
                        $("#underInput").html('<span style="color:blue">' + message + '</span>');
                    },
                    error: function()
                    {
                        $("#underInput").html('<span style="color:red">Some error occured</span>');
                    }
                });
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body >
        <h3>The foods  </h3>
        Order your foods:
        <input type="text" id="Userinput" ></input>
        <div id="underInput"></div>
    </body>
</html>

foodstore.php

    <?php

    if (!empty($_GET['food']))
    {
        $food = $_GET['food'];
        $foodArray = array('tuna', 'bacon', 'beef', 'loaf', 'ham');
        if (in_array($food, $foodArray))
            echo "We do have " . $food . "!";
        elseif ($food == '')
            echo "Enter a food you want to buy";
        else
            echo "Sorry we don't sell it " . $food . "!";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Enter a food you want to buy";
    }
?>

I think its simple if you know jquery .And there was a simple error in php you did't escape the extra single quotes in (don't) so I used double quotes for echo statements. Copy paste and tell if this is it what you want or not.Got any doubt ask.
