look at the main site examples, everything is there. the first example is what you need, if you want modalbox to load content from file like in this example frame_send-link.html.

<a href="frame_send-link.html" title="Simple form" onclick=" Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: this.title, width: 600}); return false; "> Send link to a friend</a>

if you have content already in your site just hidden away in some div try this:
<a href="javascript:;" title="Simple form" onclick=" Modalbox.show($('id-of-my-div'), {title: this.title, width: 600}); return false; "> Send link to a friend</a>

$('id-of-my-div') in the brackets is the id of the div element you wan to load content from.

what do you mean by saying that your link is in php ?
you click the link that launches the php script that fetches data from bbc.com or smth ?

if you want to display the external content in your modalbox you need to create a php file whitch fetches the content from the extenrnal site. it isn't very easy and fast to do. there are some links in that page to examples how to create cross-domain proxy.

the most simple way to do so is to use fopen() php functions to fetch content. there are some examples out there in the php manual too.

unfortunately I don't have a ready to use code and i don't have time to write it for you, so you are on your own.
