I am making an application using foursquare api.

I have written code for finding venues near location taken by the user.

Now i want to suggest him the location as he types into the text box.

(eg. as he types "N", it should suggest locations near him starting with letter "N")

Any suggestions, how can i do this?

PHP

<?php
	require_once("../src/FoursquareAPI.class.php");
	// Set your client key and secret
	$client_key = "";
	$client_secret = "";
	// Load the Foursquare API library

	if($client_key=="" or $client_secret=="")
	{
        echo 'Load client key and client secret from <a href="https://developer.foursquare.com/">foursquare</a>';
        exit;
	}

	$foursquare = new FoursquareAPI($client_key,$client_secret);
	$location = array_key_exists("location",$_GET) ? $_GET['location'] : "Montreal, QC";
?>
