Tutorial: Passing Data To Bootstrap Modal in PHP
In this tutorial, we will create a Passing Data To Bootstrap Modal using PHP. This code can pass MySQL data to bootstrap modal when the user clicks the button. The system uses the MySQLi SELECT query to display a row of data from the table bound by id in the switch to pass the data to the modal dialog. This a user-friendly program. Feel free to modify and use it for your system.
We will be using PHP as a scripting language and interpreter that is mainly used on any web server, including xamp, wamp, etc. It is being applied to any popular websites because of the modern approach as its today.
Getting Started:
First, you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that runs PHP scripts. Here’s the link for the XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.
And, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.
Creating Database
Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_pass, after that, click Import, then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.
Creating the database connection
Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.
<?php
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_pass");
if(!$conn){
die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
}
?>Creating The Interface
This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

This code contains the php query of the application. This code will store the form inputs to the MySQLi server. To do that just copy and write this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as insert.php.
<?php
require_once'conn.php';
if(ISSET($_POST['insert'])){
$firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
$lastname=$_POST['lastname'];
$gender=$_POST['gender'];
$age=$_POST['age'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `member` VALUES('', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$gender', '$age', '$address')") or die(mysqli_error());
header("location: index.php");
}

i was looking to do something like this. glad to see i’m not the only one who thought of this router. however, would not producing a unqiue modal for each item not be a little bloaty in the long run?
