Can i include a form button in PHP code?

kcgame

Hi,

I would like to display Yes and No button upon user click "Destroy" button, but just can't keep it going... My codes looks like:


<?//some codes
if(isset(destroy)){

//How can i display Yes and No buttons here so that if yes, keep doing. If no, execute header("Location: Destroy.php")

}
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="Destroy.php">
<input type="Submit" name="destroy" value="Destroy">
        </form>

lots of options, you can redirect to another page and pass any required information.

on the other page, you can perform the action or return to original page.

a more complex solution is to create your scripts to preserve their state.

ie; if destroy button is pressed, create a yes/no button instead of the destroy button.

but add all data from request object to the new form via hidden inputs and unset the destroy button.

now if the user clicks yes, you have the same data submitted but can perform a different action.

I would like to do everything in the same page. Meaning that user will be shown with 'Yes' and 'No' buttons replacing the 'Destroy' button. Can anyone code me some examples? Where to input the codes?

If i want to pass the parameters to other forms, do i need global variables enabled? Can the parameters passed to other .php file if i use $_POST['destroydata1']

My method for this usualy looks something like this:

page1.php:

Someitem #123 [Delete] [Change]
Someitem #2 [Delete] [Change]

Now, upon pressing Delete which is a link that looks like:
page1.php?DELID=123

page1.php?DELID=123:
Sure you wish to Delete Someitem #123? [Yes/No]

Someitem #123 [Delete] [Change]

Someitem #2 [Delete] [Change]

Now the Yes link would look like:
page1.php?DELID=123&CONFIRMED=1
and clicking it would yield process it:

page1.php?DELID=123&CONFIRMED=1:

You have deleted Someitem #123.

Someitem #2 [Delete] [Change]

So something like this codeways:

<?PHP

if($GET["DELID"]>0 && $GET["CONFIRMED"]==1)
{
//Destroy whatever
$msg="You have destroyed something."; //Or an error msg if the destroy function failed...
}
elseif($_GET["DELID"]>0)
{
$msg="Sure you wish to Delete <nameofthing>? [<a href=\"page1.php?DELID=123&CONFIRMED=1\">Yes</a>/<a href=\"page1.php\">No</a>]";
}

?>
<html> etc etc etc
<body>
<?PHP print $msg; ?>

List of things to fiddle with.
</body>

</html>

Thats the quick and dirty way, without any security measures but that is easy enough to add. Hope this was what you wanted.
