Confirm box only cancels

[MikeSpider]

Hi guys,
I have a form that submit values to a db via post method. I made a confirm box to pop up when the values are out of range of what is expected, the thing is that it's not working properly.

The php & javascript:

Code: Select all

<?php

...

$dont_run = "true";
 if($_soldfor < $_boughtfor || $_soldfor < $existing_cost){
                       ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
                       <!--

      var nP = confirm("You are seling a product for less than you bought! are you sure you want to make this sale?")
      if(nP){

        <?php   $dont_run = false;
         $message = "<b class='negative_msg'>you sold an item for less than you bought!</b>";?>

      }else{
         <?php  $message = "<b class='negative_msg'>Sale cancelled!</b>";
          $dont_run = true; ?>
      }
         
   
      //-->
    </script>
<?php
                   }

           

     if( $dont_run == false){
         
        $insert_raw = new Product();
      ...
?>


Any help will be appreciated,
Mike

You cannot call PHP inside of your JavaScript. You are trying to execute Server-side actions after the server has finished processing and served up data.

What should I do then?
I want the php script to execute only if the user presses "ok",.

I took the php out of JS. but still, the confirm box apears, but the php code runs either way if i press "Ok" or "Cancel".
please help.

Code: Select all

...
   if($_soldfor < $_boughtfor || $_soldfor < $existing_cost){
                       ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
                       <!--

       confirm("You are seling a product for less than you bought! are you sure you want to make this sale?")   
   
      //-->
    </script>
<?php
                   }
                           
        $insert_raw = new Product();
         ...
<?php

Your confirm box result is not being saved, and you are not acting on the result. You removed the PHP but didn't replace the logic with client side logic.

Right.
I'm using this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
                       <!--
                       
     var np= confirm("You are seling a product for less than you bought! are you sure you want to make this sale?")
        if(np != true)
          return false;
         
   
      //-->
    </script>
<?php ....

 ?>


the "return false" is underlined as invalid return.
Can you help me on how to do this?
Thanks
Mike
