Bootstrap: Trouble using modal for showing dynamic data

Question

I have a list created dinamically using php

while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){ //$row is a row fetched from my database
<tr>
   <td><?php echo $row['id']?></td>
   <td><?php echo $row['name']?></td>
   <td><?php echo $row['surname']?></td>
   <td><a href="#Modal" <?php echo "id= " . $row['username'] ?> class="btn btn-small btn-info" data-toggle="modal" > Vedi</a></td>
</tr>
}

Modal is something like this:

<div id="Modal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="ModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</a>
        <h3 id="myModalLabel">user information</h3>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body" id="loadInfo">
        <div class="row-fluid">
          <div class="span12">

         <!-- my php code here -->

        </div>
       </div>
     </div>
</div>

My php code must be referred to a precise user. So I need that the Modal can receive this the id of the in order to execute the proper php code.

How can I obtain this result?

Answer 1

assign the values of the user info to javascript variables. Add a data attribute to the modal toggle buttons like data-user_id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?> data-user_id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?> and make a jquery click handler to update the modal's content to match the button you clicked.
