Create a confirm dialog box in PHP?

[impactdesign]

I am working on an admin page which displays all the data in my db. The admin can update rows or delete rows. I am looking for some advice or coding tips to create a dialogue prompt box if possible in PHP or javascript which will confirm an action like: "Are you sure you want to delete file?"

 

Much like on myphpadmin when you click on the drop icon, a promt box will appear before deleting a file.

 

Any suggestions?

You'll have to use javascript for this.

You could use Javascript and/or PHP. For PHP you would just have to carry the data in the $_GET[], or $_POST[] and resubmit it when selecting confirm. Phpmyadmin does both of these.

Thanks for the tips. I played around with it for serveral hours and I finally got it to work.

 

Here's the code in case anyone wants it.

 

echo'<td class="style2"><a href="delete.php?id='.$rows['id'].'"onclick="javascript:return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete this file?\')">Delete</a>';"</td></tr>";
