What are some potential solutions for sending additional information like the Personal Number with Autocomplete in PHP?

When using Autocomplete in PHP, it can be challenging to send additional information like the Personal Number alongside the selected option. One potential solution is to store the Personal Number in a data attribute of the Autocomplete options and retrieve it when an option is selected. This way, the additional information can be sent along with the selected option. 

// HTML code with Autocomplete options including Personal Number in data attribute
<input type="text" id="autocomplete" name="autocomplete" autocomplete="off">
<div id="autocomplete-options" style="display: none;">
    <div data-value="Option 1" data-personal-number="12345">Option 1</div>
    <div data-value="Option 2" data-personal-number="67890">Option 2</div>
</div>

// PHP code to handle Autocomplete selection and send additional information
<?php
if(isset($_POST['selectedOption'])) {
    $selectedOption = $_POST['selectedOption'];
    $personalNumber = $_POST['personalNumber'];
    
    // Handle the selected option and Personal Number here
}
?>
