    PHP is server-side it doesn’t do anything on the client. A click is on the client, so PHP can’t handle this.

    An onclick event is JavaScript, which is on the client-side. Read more about the onclick event in the Mozilla Docs.

    The confirm() returns a boolean, true or false. true when the user clicks ‘Yes’, false when the users clicks on ‘No’.

    If you want to send the boolean to PHP you need to use AJAX requests, but I don’t think you want it because you want to stop the submitting of the form.
