title: PHP Get button $_POST value when clicked
body: <p>OK I might be a bit out of my depth here I have a page like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/M8Im9.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/M8Im9.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Now When Someone clicks the button a fancy sliding page "slides" over the current page, asking for the user to enter his application details.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dNdlR.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dNdlR.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Now I need to get the clicked Button's value which contains the <code>jobID</code> primary key inorder for me to process the application data...makes sense?</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to know is, <strong>since no actual page is loaded and no data gets send</strong>, (its only css &amp; jquery providing a "modal" for the application page).</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about finding the value of button. Im not sure where to start really?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it possible getting it with PHP alone? (again keeping in mind no actual data gets send)?</li>
  <li>Can the value be retrieved with AJAX?</li>
  <li>Would it require some sort of completely different language like node.js or similar?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any tips / advice / references appreciated</p>
