Passing Variable To Popup Box

i have a bit complicated problem about passing variables in php. I have listed and nested items in html

tag and near every item i have button which should edit name of

Solution 1:

I think the best option will be to use jQuery. Here's a working example, setting dynamically the path of the forms

$('.toggler').click(function(){
  var path = $(this).attr('path');
  $('#popupEdit').css('display','block');
  $('.pathinput').val(path);
  $('.path').text(path);
});

<scriptsrc="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script><buttonclass="toggler"path="example text">Click Me</button><buttonclass="toggler"path="example text 2">Click Me 2</button><buttonclass="toggler"path="example text 3">Click Me 2</button><divid="popupEdit"class="popupEdit"style="display: none"><pclass="path"></p><divclass="popupEdit-content"><formaction="rename.php"method="post"><inputtype="text"name="path"class="pathinput"value="PATHHERE" ><inputtype="text"name="new-name"placeholder="nowa nazwa"><inputtype="submit"value="Submit"class="popupEdit-submit"></form></div></div>
