So I am building a very database centric website and want to know what is the best way to recall data for something like JQuery autocomplete. I have a table that holds college information. As of now I have Phil Sturgeons Cache file for the get_colleges function and calling that as variables in the view. Looking for feedback:

Code:
$colleges = $this->user_profile->get_form_data_tables('college');

        $this->cache->write($colleges, 'college');

               $data['colleges'] = $this->cache->get('college');

in my views

Code:
var availableTags = [&lt;?php foreach($colleges as $key) { echo '{"value":"'.ucwords($key->name).'","id":'.$key->college_id.'},'; }?&gt;];

        $("input#college").autocomplete({

            source: availableTags,

            select: function(event,ui){

                $('#college_value').val(ui.item.id)}

        });
