Autocomplete is done via JavaScript. Check out the jQuery Autocomplete plugin for a pretty easily library to get started with. You can either include the values to be used for autocomplete in the JavaScript, or you can make an AJAX request to a PHP script which provides suggestions. Feel free to comment if you'd like more help.

JQuery UI is a javascript framework that has a nice autocomplete implementation: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/

Of course you will need the jquery and jquery ui javascript frameworks.
