Question

I’ve build a decent CMS for my website. It allows me to manage the entire content, as well as delete an article. I just want to make some kind of Javascript(any other suggestions are most welcome) stop and ask function. When someone clicks delete(my employees are going to use the CMS in the very near future) show a prompt asking Are you sure? and if they clicks yes, only then go through with the delete. The delete is being done through an url request. http://mywebsite.com/somefile.php?action=delete_article&id=whatever_id Something that my quantum physics teacher used to refer to as the anti-idiot protection. Thanks in advance for all your help!

Answer 1

function redirect($redirect,$redirect_2,$message) ///confirm box pop up
    {
        echo "<script>javascript:
        var ask = confirm('".$message."');
        if(ask==true)
        {
            window.location = '".$redirect."';  
        }
        else
        {
            window.location = '".$redirect_2."';    
        }
        </script>";
    }

try something like this function.
