Javascript Confirm and PHP

[Anon]

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
if(confirm("Are you sure you wish to delete the selected group(s) and all link(s) contained in the group(s)?") == true)
{
document.write("<? some php ?>");
}
else
{
document.write("<? some other php ?>");
}
</SCRIPT>

Regardless of clicking OK or Cancel the code inside both branches of the if statement is processed. What is going on?!

You can't mix JavaScript and PHP like that. PHP runs on the server side, and JavaScript on the client side. By the time JavaScript pops up the confirm dialog, the server already processed all the PHP stuff.

Uh, I don't see how that code could possibly work, since the JavaScript code executes within the browser, and the PHP executes on the server...
