simpleModal - parsing variable from original php to modal popup
Hello,
I have a the SimpleModal running on a php page, and on said php page, a varaible is defined; e.g. $var = "John";
and then the usual gubbings for simpleModal, which calls modal_output.php - the file generating the output for the modal popup.
I need to get that $var into this popup, so the popup can read:
"blaa blaa John"
This should be simple, I thought - but I can't parse it through _SESSION, or any method I try. I even tried hacking it into:
$.get("contact_modal.php", function(data){
to read
$.get("contact_modal.php?var=<?php echo $var ?>", function(data){
but that breaks the js
Is there anyway I can parse the variable from the original page into the modal popup page?
I'm stumped.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob
