Delete Record Confirmation

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a news article page in my site pulled from a mysql database. On the delete page, I want to be able to allow my users to delete a record, then see a confirmation page, containing the news article they want to delete.

Does anybody know a good tutorial to help me code this?

Thanx.

Ryan: there are some simple ways for doing this.. the first way is a JavaScript (client side) solution and the second a serverside php solution. JavaScript will not work for every browser so its not the best solution..

In php the code will look like this:

<?php

switch ($action) {
case "delete" :
echo "sure you want to delete $id ??"
echo "<a href='$PHP_SELF?action=dodel&id=$id'>Yeah baby!</a>";
break;
case "dodel" :
mysql_query("delete from ");
break;
default :
echo "hmz you need a action var";
break
}

?>

call the script in the browser:
http://localhost/mydel.php?action=delete&id=23

Good luck
