Need help translating php code into either JavaScript or JSP code

Dear fellow developers:

I have a php file that is part of an Ajax script that I need to use as part of a JSP application.  This Ajax application is an autocomplete/autosuggest script, and I am wondering if it is at all possible for the php code that is contained in the test.php file, to be converted into something more "neutral" like JavaScript, or Java/JSP code?  Can this be done?  While I am aware that there are other autocomplete scripts that I can use for my application, I really like this one in particular, as it is visually very nice, and would like very much to incorporate it in my application.

The autocomplete script can be found here:

http://www.brandspankingnew.net/specials/ajax_autosuggest/ajax_autosuggest_autocomplete.html

and the file that I am referring to can be found below.

Thanks to all who reply.
Sincerely;
Fayyaz
