Paid on delivery
Experienced AJAX (esp. XML) /PHP developer wanted to create and deliver the following auto-suggest solution:
- Deliver an autosuggest list of city & airport names as user types in entries in the city-name entry field.
- Work similar to how this capability works in the Hotel search sections of many major Travel sites, such as [login to view URL] for example.
- Must assemble the "database" or an XML file/ list of cities (and related city information) from CSV type sources of city names identified by Buyer. (Such a list may have several million records.)
- Should be either XML or RDBMS based (XML is strongly preferred for simplicity and performance reasons), but, regardless, must work with the same performance as other travel sites with similar capability.
- Must work and be delivered/demonstable with an blank web page with one input field for entry.
- Program must also return city-elated global variables as necessary for subsequent use by another program
- Delivery must include installation assistance on buyer's hosted server if necessary.
- Deliverable will be considered complete when instaled and tested on the buyers's hosted server.
Special consideration given to bidders who indicate some thoughts on how they would approach this specific project.
