jquery - Pass PHP variable to bootstrap modal

Question

I have a button that is created using a while loop. so the while loop creates a table row for each row in a mysql table.

I have one line of code for the button which is created again for each row of the table and each button has a different value based on the id for that record.

$order .= '<td><a href="#myModal" class="btn btn-default btn-small" id="custId" data-toggle="modal" data-id="'.$row['ID'].'">Edit</a></td>';

The problem is that I want to use that $row['ID'] and view it in a modal so I can retrieve the record with the same ID using mysqli query.

Here is the code for the modal.

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
        <div class="modal-dialog">
            <!-- Modal content-->
            <div class="modal-content">
                <div class="modal-header">
                    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
                    <h4 class="modal-title">Edit Data</h4>
                </div>
                <div class="modal-body">
                    i want to save the id in a variable here so i can use it in a php script for this modal
                </div>
                <div class="modal-footer">
                    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Answer 1

put this inside your loop

<button type="button" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#message<?php echo $row['id'];?>">Message</button>

<div id="message<?php echo $row['id'];?>" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
  <div class="modal-dialog">

    <!-- Modal content-->
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>Some text in the modal.</p>
        <?php echo $row['id'];?>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>

  </div>
