##### Q) How to load grid based on $_POST data from other page?

The grid is loaded with 2 server calls.

1) load the columns of grid.
2) do an ajax call, to load data of grid.

Now, if you want to pass data from external form, it is available for step1. But not there in 2nd ajax call, as it is not posted.
Solution is to put the POST variable in session and use it from session for step2.

e.g.

if (!empty($_POST["personid"]))
{
$_SESSION["personid"] = $_POST["personid"];
}
$pid = $_SESSION["personid"];

and use `$pid` in your SQL.
