When do you call the function.php ? – QBernard Sep 30 '15 at 12:11 — QBernard, Sep 30 '15 at 12:11

You can use ajax to post the value there but you have to get that with:

$("#skill").autocomplete("get_list.php", {
    width: 260,
    matchContains: true,
    select: function( event, ui ) {
       $.post('path/to/function.php', {"selected":ui.value}, function(data){
           console.log(data); // check the data if returns anything.
       });
    }
});

now in the function.php:

<?php 

$form = '<div name="input" class="input_box" id="input">'.
            .........
'<input type="text" name="skill"' . 
'value="'.isset($_POST['selected']) ? $_POST['selected'] : 'default text' . '" />';

</div>
 ...
</form>
</div>';
?>
