I don't understand your question. Not sure this is your question but autocomplete can use ajax too. –  putvande Jan 23 at 13:23

The source attribute can have an URL as value. The URL must render json formated for the plugin.

See http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#option-source

$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
              source: '/myMovies.php'
            });

/myMovies.php

<?php echo json_encode($varma); ?>;

Here is a more generic method to ajax in php.

Construct the php array

$arReturn = array( 'name' => 'AliasM2K' );
header( 'Content-Type: application/json' );
print json_encode( $arReturn );

Perform ajax

$.ajax({

    url: 'ajaxPhp.php',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function( oData ) {
        alert( oData.name );
    }

});

<?php 

/*
   I read your problem and your code also and the suggestion from my side is :
    Some how you don't required any second page and doesn't required ajax for all this.
    You can autocomplete your textbox with PHP array's values using below successive code..
    Do yourself and enjoy.
