Get form data from Bootstrap 4 Modal

[mrmbarnes]

Hi All

I hope I have put this in the correct section.

I am new to Bootstrap etc and need some help getting form data out of a Bootstrap Modal and into a variable so that I can use that information in my PHP code.

Below is my Modal code… I reused the delete confirmation modal however cannot work how to get the email address out of the Modal into a variable.

I am 99.9% sure that it is just a matter of adding a little bit of code to the script at the bottom however I have not been able to work out what needs adding.

Can you help?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

<div class="modal fade" id="emailConfirm" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="emailConfirmLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">

$( document ).on( "click", "email", function() {
  $('#emailConfirm').modal('hide');
});

Hi there…

1. Firstly you need to be wrapping your form fields in a form element:

<form method="post">
html fields here...
</form>

2. Secondly you should give a name attribute to all your fields:

<input name="email-field" type="email" class="form-control" aria-describedby="invoiceEmailAddress" placeholder="Enter Invoice Email Address" value="<?php print $invoiceEmailAddress; ?>">

3. Thirdly the field’s data will reside in the $_POST array after you submit the form:

<?php

if (!empty($_POST)) {
    if (!empty($_POST['email-field'])) {
        $email = $_POST['email-field'];
        // do something here with email ...
    }
}

Hope this helps setting you in the right direction.
