I am having a problem with onclick function integrating it with php .Can someone please help
Below is my codes
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language="Javascript">
function delete()
{
val del=confirm("Do you wanto delete the player?");
if(del==true)
{
alert("player Deleted");
}
else
{
alert("record not deleted");
}
return del;
}
</script>
</head>
<?php
Echo “
<a href='delete.php?player_id=$player_id' onclick='delete()'>Delete</a>”
?>
the most important thing: do not use the javascript keyword delete (JavaScript delete operator help) as function name! Your function (and thus onclick) won't work because of this! Change it to something appropriate like deleteRecord and you could use php only to output the ID, like:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteRecord()
{
if (confirm("Do you wanto delete the player?")) {
alert("player Deleted");
}
else {
alert("Record not deleted");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="delete.php?player_id=<?php echo $player_id ?>" onclick='deleteRecord();'>Delete record?</a>
</body>
</html>
kind regards, P.
I found a pretty good solution. However, It adds a little extra to your code. I do not recommend using this method too much. I am a new PHP developer, so there are probably somethings this method can and cannot do.
also I cannot seem to prevent this method from loading a new page, so the best way is to add your php to the beginning of the file. This is also a better solution for using AJAX (my opinion)
if the current file is index.php...
make a form tag element
'<form action="index.php" method="post">'
'<input type="submit" name="helloWorld" value="hello World">'
'</form>'
here you will display the content of what you are trying for, with a click
'<article>'
'<?php echo myFunction(); ?>'
'</article>'
this next php markup can go anywhere as long as it it is in the same file... Unless you know how to work around. Best place is before the HTML.
'<?php '
'function myFunciton() {'
'if (isset($_POST[helloWorld])) {'
'echo "hello world"; ... your methods'
'}'
'}'
or you could directly access it without using a function
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="hello" value="hello">
<input type="submit" name="goodBye" value="goodBye">
</form>
<article>
<?php
if (isset($_POST[hello])) {
echo "This happens if you click hello";
}
if (isset($_POST[goodBye])) {
echo "This happens if you click goodBye";
}
?>
</article>
</body>
