Using onclick when echoing a link

[Nisa8]

Hi,

 

I'm new to php and just trying to practice with some codes I have.

I have a php code to delete an entry from a database, all works well but I want to try to use the 'onclick' event to prompt for confirmation. However, when I add this I end up with a blank page.

 

Then original code was:

echo('<p>' . $commenttext .
'<a href="adddelete.php?deletecomment=' . $commentid . '">' .
'Delete this Comment</a></p>');

 

I changed it to:

echo('<p>' . $commenttext .
'<a href="adddelete.php?deletecomment=' . $commentid . ' onclick='return confirm('Are you SURE you want to delete this comment?')'">' . 'Delete this Comment</a></p>');

 

Anyone know what the problem could be, or an alternative way to get a confirmation before deleting?

 

Thanks in advance.

<?php
echo("<p>" . $commenttext . "<a href=\"adddelete.php?deletecomment=" . $commentid . "\" onclick=\"return confirm('Are you SURE you want to delete this comment?')\">Delete this Comment</a></p>");
?>
