Answer 1

That's because, here is what a url should end with:

And you are making it:

file.php#id?parameter=value

And what you should have done is:

<div id="modal" style="display:none">
 <?php
  $sql = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM data);
  $data = mysql_fecth_row($sql);
  echo $data[0];
 ?> 
</div>
<a href="#modal" id="modal_id">name</a>
