[SOLVED] Confirmation ALERTS

[ali_2kool2002]

Hi im really stuck, can have an alert before i delete something. For example, if someone can code this i can adjust it to mine, basically, i have say 2 radio buttons, depending on which radio button is pressed i want to have an alert saying "are you sure you want to delete?" then with the option ok or cancel, ok would trigger a query in the databse, and cancel with return back via header...?

 

hope someone can help  :-\ :-\

delete.php where you would put the page you are confirming to go to

 

<a href="delete.php" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?')">Delete</a>

but i need to pass a value from the link ? how is this done as the radio button can pass a value to the delet.php page...

You can pass a value like this.

 

<a href="delete.php?value=<?php echo $value ?>" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?')">

<?php
require_once('../../mysql_connect.php');


				$did = $_GET['catId'] ;
				echo "<b>Deleted catId :</b> $did  <br>";
$query_delete_category = "DELETE FROM category WHERE catId='$did'";

$get_cat_res = mysql_query($query_delete_category) or die(mysql_error());


?>

 

THIS IS THE WAY TO GET THE ID FROM THE URL IN DELETE.Php WHEN THE POSTed solution FROM CMGMYR IS PUT INTO ANOTHER PAGE
