[SOLVED] "are you sure?"

[Zeradin]

I don't know if this counts as a php question or an sql question or a javascript question but I'm trying to make a "are you sure" alert box for deleting things. like this:

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
function CONFIRM(){if (!confirm
("Are you sure you want to delete?"))
history.go(-1);return " "}
document.writeln(CONFIRM())
<!-- END -->
</SCRIPT>
<?php
// create show query
$dquery = 'delete FROM pms WHERE id = '.$mid.'';
// execute show query
$dresult = mysql_query($dquery) or die ("Error in query: $dquery. ".mysql_error());

 

but if you say cancel it goes back to the last page but still deletes the entry.

how can i fix this? i tried adding a <?php die; ?>

but it didn't work either. Help?

example:

 

<form method='post' action='something.php' onclick='return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?");'>

can i integrate that into a link? or a button? or do i put that on the delete page?

You can put it on any element that support the onclick attribute... so yes, anchors and inputs can have them.
