Jump to PostNo way to do it in PHP.
VB or JS are at client side, PHP only server side. Anyway you can create a page in php with such task using HTML forms...
Jump to PostYou'd be better off with js - or ajax.
You need the js 'confirm' popup. This can be linked 'ajaxibly' to a php file which could delete file/db record, whatever, in the background and then refresh your displayed list of records/files - all without the need for whole page …
Jump to Postso what's the code for that?
For what? Which bit?

You'd be better off with js - or ajax.
You need the js 'confirm' popup. This can be linked 'ajaxibly' to a php file which could delete file/db record, whatever, in the background and then refresh your displayed list of records/files - all without the need for whole page refresh.
If you decide to delve into ajax, you'll do well to look at a js library/framework: jquery and prototype are good places to start - this allows easy access to the 'ajax response'.
Another way of doing this I saw the other day (can't remember where) was that a check box with a label 'Check to confirm delete' and a submit button appeared next to the item to be deleted - I assume this was done via js '.append'. Nice and refreshing change from a popup.

ok takeshi you know the drill replace database table that suites your needs.
Tried and tested
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
mysql_select_db('joe');
?>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['btndelete'])){
$account = $_GET['account'];
if(isset($account)){
foreach($account as $val){
mysql_query( "DELETE FROM account WHERE account_id='".$val."'" );
}
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>
confirm
</title>
<script>
function deleterec(){
if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?")){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name='frm' method='get' onsubmit='return deleterec()'>
<table border='1'>
<tr>
<td>check</td><td>name</td><td>age</td>
</tr>
<?php
$sql = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM account" );
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
echo "<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='account[]' value='".$row['account_id']."'></td><td>".$row['name']."<td>".$row['email']."</td>
</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
<input type='submit' name='btndelete' value='delete' />
</form>
</body>
</html>please marked this thread solved if you think it's been solved... thanks.

I always get a bit twitchy when people use simple get vars for database manipulations. This is open to abuse (yeah, yeah, so is post, I know). If you use get, I'd suggest using a confirm hash to go with the id of the record to delete.
e.g. deleterecord.php?id=3&confirm=syhnY729H6jYu27R5gjuU81b (32 chars long for an md5 hash)
Just set up a salted hash to check on querystring arrival:
if(isset($_GET['id']) && isset($_GET['confirm']) && $_GET['confirm'] == md5('mysaltysalt' . $_GET['id'] . 'myothersaltysalt')) {
//delete the record if it exists
}else{
//something really wrong here - somebody trying to delete your records programmatically??
}
