php - load data from database instead of array -

i using jquery plugin tag-it autocomplete tags in form input field. plugin loads available tags stored in array.

$("#mytags").tagit({     availabletags: ["c++", "java", "php", "javascript", "ruby", "python", "c"] }); 

i copied following function plugin's javascript code, believe main function load tags:

tag_input.autocomplete({             source: options.availabletags,              select: function(event,ui){                 if (is_new (ui.item.value)) {                     create_choice (ui.item.value);                 }                 // cleaning input.                 tag_input.val("");                  // preventing tag input update chosen value.                 return false;             }         }); 

the plugin works fine , autocomplete tags availabletags array, make small change in it. instead of loading tags array, load tags mysql database table. table has following structure:

tags:

tag_id      tag_name 1            c++ 2            java 3            php 4            javascript 5            ruby 

so how can autoload tag names database (using php) instead of loading above array? thanks.

yes can like:

instead of

source: options.availabletags 

use this:

source: function(request, response) {     var term = request.term // hold text typed in autocomplete     $.get(url, data, function(data){         // build array return         var datatoreturn = [];     });     response(datatoreturn); }
