What I suggest is that you have two forms, each with a button on the page that receives the delete request. Both forms post to the processing page. The first button passes a value called "dodelete" and the second one passes another value say, "dontdelete". On the processing page you determine if $dodelete is set, if it is then do your delete. If not, redirect them to another page and bypass the whole deleteion process. Below if the code I use on the processing page: <?php session_start(); ?> <?php if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["islogged"])){ header("Location:index.php"); } if(isset($dodelete)){ // connect to db $connectionToDB = odbc_connect("4gdols4f", "jolf", "rty"); $sqldel = "DELETE FROM RECOMMENDATION WHERE recid ='$recid'"; odbc_do($connectionToDB, $sqldel); } else { header("Location:login.php"); } ?> "Ivan Carey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 006301c1a7f4$a195ea60$0201a8c0@icarey">news:006301c1a7f4$a195ea60$0201a8c0@icarey... Hello, Thankyou for your reply. When a user clicks upon a delete link that deletes a record from a database, I would like to be able to give them the option to OK or Cancel this action. I have tried coding the browsers built in confirm box (I can bring up this) but am unable to combine it with php or a combination of php and a javascript funtion Thanks, Ivan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
