How can I get the data attribute from a php variable?

Question

I have a form that can delete records from a MySql database using ajax and jQuery. I\'m trying to get the jQuery to only select the relevant record passed to it and not just

Answer 1

I would recommend you to use data-* prefixed attributes to persists your data.

HTML

 

    delete
 

Then you can fetch it using .data(key)

Return the value at the named data store for the first element in the jQuery collection, as set by data(name, value) or by an HTML5 data-* attribute

Script

 //Delete Review
$(document).ready(function(){
    //Need to get $id here.
    $(".deleteReview").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var username = $(this).data("username");
        var film_id = $(this).data('filmid');
        var id = $(this).data('id');

        ......
        return false;
    });
});
