hi,
i have the following code that enables a user to be logged out. This works perfectly however i now wish a confirmation dialog to appear asking to user to confirm thier actions but how do I do this in this code:
<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
$logout = "login.php";
header("Location: $logout");
?> thanks in advance
Create a new page, let's say "login_confirm.php"...
Simply write :
Are you really sure you want to logout?
Yes -> logout.php
No -> another_page.php
Logout being the code you wrote above...
isn't there a way i could use it on the same script
Of course...
<?php
if(isset($_GET['logout'])) {
session_start();
session_destroy();
$logout = "login.php";
header("Location: $logout");
exit();
}
echo 'Are you sure you want to logout?' . "\n";
echo '<p>' . "\n;
echo ' <a href="' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?logout=1">Yes</a> | <a href="another_page.php">No</a>
echo '</p>' . "\n;
?>
isn't there a way to do this with javascript since it will be alot neater
<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
// redirects the user
//$logout = "login.php";
//header("Location: $logout");
//exit();
?>
<script language="javascript">
function confirmlink(link) {
if ( confirm("Are you sure you want to log out?"))
window.location = "login.php";
}
</script>
thanks
Yes...
<a href="logout.php" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure ?');">Logout</a>
Will work as long as someone has JavaScript activated. Otherwise, it will log out without confirmation.
it doesn't work it takes the user back to login page without confirming.
<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
$logout = "login.php";
header("Location: $logout");
exit();
?>
<script language="javascript">
function confirm() {
if ( confirm("Are you sure you want to log out?"))
window.location = "login.php";
}
</script>No, the JavaScript stuff needs to be put in a NORMAL webpage, not in the logout page !
Look at your code... you wrote header("Location: ..."), and then exit() ! How do you want the rest of the code to be executed after calling exit() ?!
When I wrote the little link above, I had in mind you would put it in every page of your site, just like on many forums where there's always a logout button !
Also, you can't create a JavaScript function confirm() since there's a built-in function with that name...
how would I do this sorry but i still don't understand
