confirm-box(javascript)+php

[superjan2]

I'm not familiar with javascript at all, so I need some help...
I have a form, and want to add a confirmbox so the user do not delete stuff from the database by mistake.

I get the popup to work ok - BUT - the problem is to make i work as intended...

How can I combine javascript and php??
Could I send a parameter or something if the user clicks OK??

Please help, I just can't figure this out...

The script is more or less like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function sikkerhet() {
var trykk = confirm ("Er du sikker på at du vil slette?");
if (trykk == true) {
document.write("I want to delete but don't know how..")
}
else {
document.write("Neivel...så ikke trykk slett da.")
}

}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function sikkerhet() {
if (confirm ("Er du sikker på at du vil slette?")) {
window.location = "mypage.php?delete=true";
}
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

You caould always use php an JS like this

<a href=\"edit.php?table_name=$table_name&record_action=delete&item_no=$id&this_section_id=$this_section_id&sub_section_id=$sub_section_id\" onClick=\"javascript: return confirm('Are you sure you want to do this?'); return;\">$edit_msg</a>

this fires up the JS function which shows the alert. Then depending on what button the user clikc depends what happens. If the user clikc OK then the form is submitted otherwise it is cacelled and the user is returned to the page

I'm sorry.
I'm a bit slow, so could you please explain a bit...

I got this php code in the heading of my document:

if($delete)
{
$sql = "delete from artikkel where id='$artikkelid'";
$test=mysql_query($sql);
header("Location: adminsok.php");
}

So what I want to do is to run this if the user clicks ok and not run this if the user clicks cancel....

sorry for my stupid quesions...

Just use the code from d-ark but send it to the same page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function sikkerhet() {
if (confirm ("Er du sikker på at du vil slette?")) {
window.location = "<?echo $PHP_SELF?>?delete=true";
} else {
document.write("Neivel...så ikke trykk slett da.")
}
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

What i mean is that you can use the JS confirm function to decide if the user wants to actually delete the article. Like this

<a href=\"delete.php?artikkleid=$artikkelid&delete=1\" onClick=\"javascript: return confirm('Are you sure you want to do this?'); return;\">Delete</a>

Then when the user clicks on the button the popup will appear asking if the are sure they want to do this action.

Notice that the link to the delete.php passes the value of artikkleid, this is only actually ever used if the user decides to click on OK.

Then in the top of your delete document you can use your code as shown below.

I have added the or die statement to actually allow you to ensure that the deletion has take place.

if($delete)
{
$sql = "delete from artikkel where id='$artikkelid'";
$test=mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
header("Location: adminsok.php");
}
