Can't use PHP value from jQuery.load() content - php

Question

I'm working on a project that uses jQuery modals that dynamically load their content on a button click.
I am having an issue using this loaded content like I would normally.
Here is an example of my problem
<script type="text/javascript>
click function{
load modal{
open: $('#modalID').load('phpfile.php?id=<?php echo $id ?>');
}
</script>
That all works fine, but when trying to use jQuery within the "phpfile.php" is where the problem lies
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
$db = USE ID TO GET DATABASE INFO; //works fine here
?>
//ECHO SOME HTML HERE
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#buttonID').on('click', function(){
alert('test <?php echo $id ?>');
});
</script>
When I click the button, I get the alert but it just says test and I don't get the ID like I should.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions on this one!

Answer 1

You have pasted pseudo code so it is difficult to say what is wrong in your code.
The following should work, give it a try:
File 1.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<?
$id = "10";
?>
<script>
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('#modalID').load('phpfile.php?id=<?php echo $id ?>');
});
</script>
<div id = 'modalID'></div>
And phpfile.php:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
?>
<script>
$('#buttonID').on('click', function(){
alert('test <?php echo $id ?>');
});
</script>
<input type="button" id = "buttonID" value="click me">

Please check on the do you have any errors in your browser's console. The above code should work. The possibilities are like if you don't get your $_GET['id'] or any script errors will prevent execution of your code.
I have created a sample php file which is working fine.
<?php
$id = rand();
?>
<button id="buttonID"> Click </button>
//ECHO SOME HTML HERE
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#buttonID').on('click', function(){
alert('test <?php echo $id ?>');
});
</script>
