I know confirm boxes are a "client side" action, but I'm looking for a way to echo a confirmation prior to updating or deleting a record?
Basically, it's an if statment, where I can to have conditions which require user input.

Anyone know how I can acomplish this?

Is this for a command prompt application?

output html for this box, with the necessary information stored in a form or similar that will "confirm" the submission.. hopefully it isn't large data :)

I output HTML when a condition is true.

I have a form, say: form.php whichs posts to a process.php

In process php, I take a condition and prompt with html, "do you want to delete this record?"

But I'm not sure how to take that input and continue with my function to execute an SQL statement.

I hope that makes sense. I think I'm confusing myself!

here's a hint:

form.php :arrow: delete.php?p=685 :arrow: delete.php?p=685&confirm=1

I prefer scripting a javascript funtion like this

Code: Select all

if(confirm("Do you want to delete?")) //do delete
:D

And if the viewer has his browser set to disable javascript?

Man, Google Mail (Gmail) is using javascript for their service, and if you disable js, it will yell "Please enable JavaScript or our site won't work!"
