Use Auto Complete instead of Dropdown in php

I have this below code snippet which will bind the station name to a dropdown list which is working fine.

I have gone through the tutorials they have fetched the data from query but here i am using REST API. So i needed a proper solution

<select id="Station" name="Station">
       <option selected="selected">Choose one</option>

  <?php
    foreach($someArray['stationList'] as $name) { ?>
      <option value="<?php echo $name['stationName'] ?>"><?php echo $name['stationName'] ?></option>
  <?php
  } ?>                                                                                                              </select>

Now i want to display the list of stations as autocomplete in a textbox rather than a dropdown list.

i.e If i type first three words of station than the related stations should be displayed.

Ex: If i type Del then the stations with the names related to Del should display

i.e Delhi

Delwara

Any Help Appreciated

You can't use pure PHP for that since It is not possible. You might have a go for it if you are willing to use database and get values from database and then use jQuery to auto-complete it.

Check this link out, It might be helpful.
