By User Name suggestion, do you mean you want a type-ahead autocomplete on a login form (i.e. once you type a few characters of your user name, the application will show all user names matching the supplied user name), or do you you mean a suggestion box that provides potential alternate user names if new user supplies an existing user name?
If you're looking for the first, I would recommend avoiding this. By providing a server-side autocomplete for user names, you are providing a simple way to access the names of all users in your system and reducing security (as people trying to access your site without permission will only need to determine a password instead of a user name and password).
If it's the second, one common approach is to append numbers at the end of an existing user name to provide a user name that does not exist. I would recommend doing this in a combination of MySQL and whatever server-side language you are using.
First, get all user names that start with the user name that was supplied (and already exists):
SELECT user_name FROM users where user_name LIKE @userName + '%'
Then, in your server side language, do the following (pseudo-code)
let user = username supplied (already exists)
let recordset = recordset from db call (above)
i = 0
alternateCount = 0
alternatesFound = new string[5]
while (alternateCount < 5 And i < 100)
potentialName = user + i
if (recordset does not contain potentialName)
alternatesFound[alternateCount] = potentialName
alternateCount++
end if
end while
What this does is attempts to insert sucessive numbers (1,2,3) etc. to the supplied user name until it finds 5 cases where the user name is unique. It also does a maximum of 100 iterations in case user1 - user99 is taken (you could increase this but a limit isn't a bad idea.
