[Resolved] confirmation message box?

jasonmills58

Hey folks, I have a MySQL query that successfully deletes the correct row from my database, but I need to have some sort of "Are you sure you want to delete the $clicked record?" confirmation message box, with 'Ok' and 'Cancel'.

How is this done? Obviously I'm new to html, but it seems like there is an interface with the PHP too, with some kind of IF/ELSE statement.

thanks for the help!

You'd be better off looking at Javascript for this.

put this:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function checker()
{
	return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this whatever?");	
}
</script>

in the <head> of your document...

then as one of your attributes in your <input type="submit"> tag, put this:

 onclick="return checker();"

So it would end up like

<input type="submit" name="whatever" value="whatever" onclick="return checker();">

Thanks stolzy, i really appreciate that. Can I include a PHP variable in that javascript? Like:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function checker()
{
	return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete $checked?");	
}
</script>

thanks!

if you write the javascript with PHP you shouldn't have a problem

echo "<script blah blah>$variable</script>";

something like that...
