[RESOLVED] Delete confirmation

[James_G]

Hi All

I'm looking for a nice easy way to ensure users don't accidentally delete records on a site - I notice a lot of sites use a popup (i.e. 'Are you sure you want to delete this records?') with yes / no buttons. I believe most of these are javascript based.

Is there a way to achieve this using pure PHP, or is there perhaps another method that can be used? I've thought about redirecting to another php page, but there must be a simpler and more sophisticated way than that.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Such popups happen on the client side, so client side scripting is required. A server side solution is possible by presenting the list of records to be deleted, and only after this second step are they deleted.

That makes sense and would be reasonably easy for me to implement - cheers Laserlight 🙂
