but when i put it into my php script, it didn't run

Pay attention to the quotes:

 

<?php
echo '<a href="#" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure?\')">link</a>';
?>

 

I simply surrounded the HTML with single quotes, and escaped the single quotes within it.

dont you have to put in the:

<script language="javascript">
...
</script>

thing in your echo statement?

like:

<script language="javascript"><a href="#" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?')">link</a></script>

i dont know javascript, but thats just my assumption

No, the value of the onclick attribute is run as javascript.

 

And just so you know,

 

<script language="javascript">

 

is deprecated in favor of

 

<script type="text/javascript">
