tieing in a javascript and php function

[rninja]

How do I make a javascript function speak with a php function so to speak?

Here is the idea:
1) I have a link that says "remove" which brings up a simple Javascript function which allows the user to choose yes or no.

2)If yes is clicked it should activate a php function which deletes records from the Database.

How do I integrate the two so to speak?

When you realize Javascript runs on client and php runs on server, you'll see the answer. Javascript will have to refresh the page with required data. To do that, you can either make a form or a link:

1. FORM
a) Create a form around your remove button
b) Put Javascript function on submit
c) If 'yes' submit form if 'no', return false
d) On the next page, parse results.

2. LINK
a) Create a link remove button with ?id=idnumber to distinguish the record
b) Put Javascript function on onclick event
c) If 'yes' redirect to new page, if 'no' return false
d) On the next page, parse results.
