PHP Onclick Popup

Question

I would like a "popup" to appear when a user clicks the delete button in a CMS. I have the following code:

<?php echo ("<a href='delete_donor.php?id=$row->id' class='delete_icon2' title='Delete Donor' onclick='return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?')'></a></td>");?>

I've used the "onclick" option successfully before, but not in a PHP environment. The above code seems to ignore the "onclick" statement. I'm thinking I may have an issue with the quotation marks and have tried several other options but to no avail.

Thanks for your help!!

Answer 1

It isn't a PHP issue.

onclick='return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?')'

is not going to work since you use ' for two different things.

Change it to

onclick='return confirm(\"Are you sure you want to delete this entry?\")'

and it should work.
