before form submit call function javascript

Question

My program manager is a QR-code in php. I have my list of QR-codes and have (among other options) the option to delete the QR-code. When I click delete, I want to bring up a confirmation message in javascript. When I click save, I do not need confirmation.

My form:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    (...)
    <input type="submit" name="save_edit" value="SAVE" />
    <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete QR-code" />
</form>

My code:

if(isset($_POST['delete']))
{
    $id = $_SESSION['tmp_id'];
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT name_file FROM $tbl_query WHERE id='$id'");
    if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0)
    {
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
        {
            $result = mysql_query("DELETE FROM $tbl_query WHERE id='$id'");
            unlink("img_qr/".$row["name_file"]);
            if($result)
            {
                $_SESSION['alert_type']=1;
                $_SESSION['msg_alerr']= "QR-code delete!";
            }
            else
            {
                $_SESSION['alert_type']=-1;
                $_SESSION['msg_alert']= "Error!";
            }
        }
    }
}

I tried javascript but it doesn't work:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function confirm() {
        var r=confirm('Are you sure you want to delete??');
        if (r==true)
        {
            //delete file...
        }   
    }
</script>

I want to see a confirmation window before deleting.

easiest way - <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete QR-code" onclick="confirm()" /> — u_mulder

Put this in your form:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return confSubmit();">

And your javascript function should be

<script type="text/javascript">
    function confSubmit() {
       var r=confirm('Are you sure you want to delete??');
       return r;
    }
</script>

Onsubmit is a good idea, however in this case there is likely another submit too

but i have more "submits", for example, save

Then you have to create some action value and testit in your javascript function. You asked just for the delete confirmation. Improve your question then I will complete my answer

It was pretty clear there would be more than one submit :) although I never recommend onclick of a submit, I think in this case it would be the way to do it

I do not see where objectivity is compromised when thinking with the OP instead of only going with what is already posted
