Pass dynamic content to bootstrap modal 3.2

Question

What i\'m trying to do is to pass the data-id value to an external link via JQuery ajax. The modal will show up but the data-id attribute is not sending to the external link

Answer 1

Dont mix onclick attributes with event handlers, its messy and can cause errors (such as mistaking the scope of this, which i believe is you main issue here).

If you are using jquery make use of it: First add a class to the links you want to attach the event to, here i use the class showme:

Show Me

Then attach to the click event on those links:

To access the variable in php:

$uid = $_GET['id']; //NOT $_GET['uid'] as you mention in a comment
