Create an input field with auto-complete in a PHP form

Question

How would I go about creating an auto-complete field in a PHP form? I have a list of manufacturers (which can be either in a CSV or listed into a database table) which I would like the auto-complete to refer to.

I figure I'd have to use jquery or similar.

There is a nice jQuery Autocomplete plugin, which does exactly your needs and uses AJAX.
