I came up with a solution for this. Still happy to hear if someone
has a better idea though.
What I did was send the link back to the same page with the eventID
<a href='index.php?eventId=1'><span class="file">Event One</span></a>
I then grab that at the beginning of the file
<?php $myvar = $_GET['eventId'];?>
And set a conditional for the <body> element
if ($_GET['eventId']){
echo '<body onLoad="$(\'#dialog\').dialog(\'open\')">';
}else{
echo '<body>';
}
Because I've set that variable prior, I can use it to pass to the
dialog box information. As a test I've just set the title with it -
but will be able to use it in an sql query to filter the information
loaded into the dialog box.
<div id="dialog" title=<?php echo $myvar ?>>
I would rather not have to do the page load, but it's hardly
noticeable - and it works.
