Javascript/PHP Problem

[iNFERiON]

This is more of a javaascript problem, but you guys might know a solution anyway, so I'll try :p

I want to build in a javascript confirm to have a user confirm the deletion of a database field. I got this:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
var delcat = confirm("Do you really want to delete <?php echo $_POST['catname']; ?>?");
if (delcat==true)
{
	<?php
	$sql = mysql_connect($sqlhost,$sqluser,$sqlpass);
	mysql_select_db($sqldb);
	mysql_query('DELETE FROM `fb_category` WHERE id=' . $_POST['catid'] . ' LIMIT 1') or die('Unable to delete category, do you have DELETE rights?');
	mysql_close($sql);
	?>
	window.location="categories.php";
}
else
{
	window.location="categories.php";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

But whatever you choose, it always deletes the field, also when you click Cancel. Any clues ? :bemused:

Because this is not the way to do it ...
When the page is generated, your record is already deleted...

U should have on your button or on your link on onclick event call that javascript function...

<a href="" onclick="return confirm('Are u sure?');">Delete</a>

Thanks, that does the trick 🙂
