Modal button including php page

[Noximity]

Hello guys I'm wondering if I can make the "host.php" page appear within a modal on the same page. When a user clicks "Host a lobby' the host.php page will pop up on the same page. If anyone knows how to do this please help me! Thanks

          <?php






          if(isset($_SESSION['steamid']))
          {
            echo'
              <a href="host.php" target="_BLANK">
              <button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-inverse btn-custom waves-effect waves-light">Host a lobby</button>
              </a>
            ';
          }
          else
          {
            echo'
              <a href="?login">
              <button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-inverse btn-custom waves-effect waves-light">Log In before Hosting</button>
              </a>
            ';
          }


          ?>

I would think this would be a javascript/ajax powered solution. Maybe ColorBox or ThickBox.

Since you are using bootstrap, You can easily create very smart and flexible dialog boxes with the Bootstrap modal plugin.

 

Try this,

if(isset($_SESSION['steamid'])){
  echo '<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-inverse btn-custom waves-effect waves-light" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
          Host a lobby
        </button>';
}

Don't use <a> tag with button.

 

Modal HTML:

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        ... modal contents here ....
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
