Help using javascript confirm() function with php

[buspass]

How can I use a javascript confirm() function when asking a user if he is sure he wants to delete a record?

So far i've tried a variation of the following:

echo (&quot;<script language =\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot;
echo (&quot;var del=&quot;
echo(&quot;confirm(\&quot;Really\&quot;&quot;
echo(&quot;if (del)&quot;
{$rs=delete_record(blah.....);
}
echo(&quot;else&quot;
{
echo(&quot;alert(\&quot;Delete cancelled\&quot;&quot;
}
echo(&quot;</script>&quot;

Any help or suggestions welcomed

$rs=delete_record(blah....);

looks suspiciously like a PHP statement to me.... you can't mix these two like that.

Javascript runs client side, PHP runs serverside... keep this in mind.

I have found a simple solution which works fine.

I add:
onclick=\&quot;javascript:return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete your details? Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to abort.')\&quot;

after my submit button. If user clicks OK it continues to the delete page, else does nothing.

I need exactly the same thing here. But sorry I don't know anything about Javascript, so i don't know how to call onclick. Furthermore, instead of submit button, what i have is a delete image, if user clicks on the image, it calls another page which deletes the record, like:

echo &quot; <A href=\&quot;delete.php?pid=&quot;.$row[&quot;pid&quot;].&quot;\&quot;><img border=0 src=pics\deletebutton.gif ></a>\n&quot;;

on delete.php page:

$sqlquery = &quot;delete from project where pid='&quot;.$pid.&quot;'&quot;;
$queryresult = mysql_query($sqlquery)

Deleting records works just fine, now i need a confirmation pop up window in Javascript, what should i do?

Thanks so much,

Sorry to bother you guys, i just figured it out. I simply put <A href=\&quot;delete.php?pid=&quot;.$row[&quot;pid&quot;].&quot;\&quot; onClick=\&quot;javascript:return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete your record?)\&quot;></a> and it worked.

thanks anyways.
