[SOLVED] javascript confirm box in php

[jbingman]

I have a php/mysql script that i have update information in a mysql database and when the user clicks "save" they should get a confirm box asking if they want to continue. How can i integrate this javascript into PHP?

Ok so if I am right you want this

(not working example)

 

you have a button which calls  a function

 

<button onClick="save">a button</button>

 

this calls a function

<script>

function save(){
  var confirmSaveBox=confirm("do you wish to save");
  if(confirmSaveBox==true){
    //alert('save');
//call php page to update mysql
  }

}
</script>

 

now do you want this to happen without refreshing the page?

or do you wish to redirect to a page submitting the values with a form

[jbingman]

Yes thats exactly what i want.

[RichardRotterdam]

with or without refreshing the page?

if you want this to happen without a refresh you'll need an ajax funtion

[jbingman]

um without refreshing the page. so once they fill in the values in the form, it will submit then to the mysql database if they click "ok" and keep them on the same page if they click "cancel".

Javascript (put it in the 'head' tag):

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function saveForm(){
  var confirmSaveBox = confirm("Do you wish to save?");
  if(confirmSaveBox == true){
    document.form1.submit();
  }
}
</script>

 

HMTL:

 

<form name="form1" action="save.php">
   <input type="button" value="Save!" onClick="saveForm();" />
</form>
