How to dynamically load Content in Div with Jquery? (Code given)

Question

I want to have a overlay over my content site. So if somebody clicks on a link a article is loaded into the covering overlay Div

Everything is working fine except the output is not working properly.

<script language="javascript">

    $( ".iddd" ).click(function() {
    var aid = $(this).prop('id');
    $('#overlaycontent').load('http://www.example.com/overlay.php', { id: aid });

    });

Test PHP Script:

<?php 

include ("config.php");
$ID = $_POST['id'];

echo $ID;

?>

That´s how my links are placed:

<a class="iddd" href="#overlay" id="6337cab172">

The id should be loaded into the script so I can access my articles but i guess the Jquery is not working properly.

I looked at this overlay with dynamic php content the right way?

but still it doesnt post the ID properly!

Answer 1

Not sure what is in config.php and if missing that could cause your problem, but to include a file, you don't use parenthesis, but only quotes, so, instead of

include ("config.php");

just

include "config.php";
