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

First in your PHP do something like this, you add the data attributes to your delete button since you are not actually submitting a real form. I also moved the deleteReview class to the button.

print 'delete';

Then, in your jQuery, update click event callback like so:

$(".deleteReview").click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var username=$(this).data('username');
    var film_id=$(this).data("film-id");
    var id=$(this).data('id');
    /* the rest of your code */

The data attributes become accessible easily with jQuery using $(this).data('some-attribute-name')
