When a string is used, the Autocomplete plugin expects that string to point to a URL resource that will return JSON data.

source: "autocomplete.php"

Therefore you need to return a JSON object.

$json = false;
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
    $json[] = array(
        'name' => $row['name']
    );
}
echo json_encode($json);
