ConfirmDelete function

I would like to find a function I could use throughout my module for deletion of records. I simple:

ConfirmDelete('Are you sure you want to delete this record')

I found some in javascript but am unsure how to modify them. My op=delwhatever gets called from different pages and then are sent to my editwhatever.php page via the case statement on my index.php page.

Example:

Code:

<td align="center" width="15%"><a href="modules.php?name=<?php echo $module_name ?>&op=delUnit&id=<?php echo $id ?>">Delete</a><p>

then my index that tells it where to go.

Code:

case "delUnit":


      @include_once("modules/$module_name/admin/editunit.php");


       break;

Then my editunit page that deletes it.

Code:

if ($op == "delUnit") {


$unit_id = intval($_GET['id']);


$result2 = $db->sql_query("DELETE FROM " . $prefix . "_milpacs_units WHERE unit_id ='$id'");


   Header("Location: /modules.php?name=MILPACS&file=admin");


   die();

Where and how could I implement these functions I found.

Code:




function verify(){


msg = "Are you sure you want to delete this record from the database?";


//all we have to do is return the return value of the confirm() method


return confirm(msg);


}








//insert this in the submit button or link


//onclick=" return verify()"





then you could just use your original php code like this:





echo("<A HREF='delete.php?id=$id' onclick=\"return verify()\">DELETE</A>");

And another I found

Code:

Just put this little javascript near the top of your page somewhere:








function ConfirmDelete(confirmtext, url) {


if(confirm(confirmtext)) {


location.href=url;


} else {


return false;


}


}








and then make your links something like this:





<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"javascript:ConfirmDelete('Are you sure you want to delete this entry','delete.php?id=$id');\">Delete</a>

Donovan,

You have probably resolved this by now, but I wanted to check anyway.
