thanks - I will have to look through things... you explanation made sense, and I believe I can get it to work that way. I think I'm going to try Tom's Java script first, and use this is a fail safe.

Re: [PHP] Re: inputbox?
phpMyAdmin(.org) is a GUI web interface for managing MySQL databases. it's open source, so if you like what you see, you can dig around in the code and "borrow"... they pop-up confirmations on delete and empty type queries. as for a simple confirmation script... I don't really have the time right now but think of it this way... - fill in form, POST to a confirmation form - confirmation form echos what's about to happen back out onto the screen - confirmation form has many hidden inputs which carry the values - click yes, form submitted to a process page, containing the values submitted In other words, you have to pass the original form contents THROUGH an intermediate page which says "are you sure?".

Justin... could I talk you into giving me an example in code of this? (I would really appreciate it) where is this phpmyadmin? I'm not seeing a function, and I searched php's website for this string, and I'm not finding anything.

Re: [PHP] Re: inputbox?
Confirmation is easy -- the client has the right to ask for this component. It's the method in which you want to confirm (javascript, pop-ups, etc) that is the problem. It can be as simple as: submit form page asking are you sure you want to blah blah blah submit yes or no action taken No javascript needed -- all php & html. You might want to also take a look at phpMyAdmin, which has javascript alert style "are you sure you want to .." ok|cancel Justin on 02/10/02 12:11 PM, Jeff Bluemel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > LOL - I've been using VB for about 6 years, and I'm just beginning to > convert over to php. > > the application I am writing is for prepaid phone cards. if they are going > to activate a pin, inactivate, or recharge then I want a confirmation box. > > I would prefer to also have a box pop up to get the value they want to > recharge instead of having an input text box on the form. for some reason > people seem to over look the text box, and they tend to leave it empty vs. > displaying a dialog box that asks for the amount they would like to > recharge. > > I need to go back to my customers, and find out how important a confirmation > box is.

Re: [PHP] Re: inputbox?
LOL - I've been using VB for about 6 years, and I'm just beginning to convert over to php. the application I am writing is for prepaid phone cards. if they are going to activate a pin, inactivate, or recharge then I want a confirmation box. I would prefer to also have a box pop up to get the value they want to recharge instead of having an input text box on the form. for some reason people seem to over look the text box, and they tend to leave it empty vs. displaying a dialog box that asks for the amount they would like to recharge. I need to go back to my customers, and find out how important a confirmation box is. I had skimmed through the php functions, but didn't see anything that looked what I was looking for.

Re: [PHP] Re: inputbox?
pop-up windows, reminds me of the days of visual basic programming I know you can display dialog boxes using javascript, but not sure if they will take a value in them, just like a confimirmation type box, like "Are you sure? " To the point, check some javascript references out, I know there are code repositories sitting out there in cyber-space that will have at least something to start off of. -Brad Justin French wrote: > I don't understand.
