[Resolved] [Resolved] JS and PHP problem

[pjleonhardt]

I got a little bit of a problem...

I got the following code in a file of mine( a page to edit files)

if(file_exists("$filename")) {
	echo "<script>result = confirm(\"Overwrite current '$filename'?\");
	if(!result) history.go(-1);</script>";
	}

the problem is...
even if the user clicks cancel... It continues with the saving than goes back to the previous page...

Yes, I know why it does this.. but I'm wondering if there is a work around to this, a way I could still do this.. In a way im not thinking of

Thanks

There's no way around it. Since the server has completed it's parsing of php by the time the javascript is run, it's pointless to have javascript there at all. You could always have the script check to see if the file exists, if it does, output a page where the user clicks to overwrite or not to. if they choose to, call a page where the file is overwriten, and if they choose not to, call a page where it's not overwriten.

alright, i was afraid of that... and already started making a regular page to verify that they want to overwrite the file..

Thanks for the help
