[SOLVED] onClick handler

[DrTrans]

if($screenstatus == "Declined") {
print"<br> Screening: <font color=\"red\">$screenstatus</font></b>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<input type=\"submit\" name=\"approve\" value=\"Approve\"><hr>\n";

 

On Button click i want it to alert " Are you sure you want to approve," if you click yes it connects to the database and changes the field from 0 to 1.

 

can this be done easily?

You haven't showed us the part when it wants to changes the value of them field in the database.

 

But the confirmation will be like this:

 

if($screenstatus == "Declined") {
print"<br> Screening: <font color=\"red\">$screenstatus</font></b>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<input type=\"submit\" name=\"approve\" value=\"Approve\" onclick=\"return confirm('Are you sure you want to approve?');\"><hr>\n";

 

Notice that it is a javascript code. (You can't fully rely on it, Cause it can be disabled)

onClick is a client side (Javascript) event, this is the PHP Coding Help board.

I understand that. but once confirming the onClick event. how would i make PHP connect to database and change the value...

[trq]

That would all be taken care of within the script your forms action points to.

[DrTrans]

if i put in a <form action="approveapp.php"> before the <input type> code. It drops the button to the next line and puts in extra page breaks.. I want it on all a single line.

Then you are using Internet Explorer XD

try this:

 

<form action="approveapp.php" style="margin:0px;">

Again, this is not a php issue.
