How to fix error in delete confirmation message in php

I have some PHP code that I'm trying to add a delete confirmation. But is causing an error...

$arr_data[$array_pos][] = 'a href="delete.php?pid='.$row['pid'].'"
    onclick="return confirm('Are you sure want to delete')">delete<';

The onclick code is causing the problem. With my very limited (zero!) knowledge, I cannot find a fix, so any help would be appreciated.

onclick="return confirm('Are you sure want to delete')"

(I removed the hyperlink HTML code so it will display)

Solution

  • You need to escape the single quotes.

    $arr_data[$array_pos][] = '<a href="delete.php?pid=' . $row['pid'] . '" onclick="return confirm(\'Are you sure you want to delete?\')">Delete</a>';
