Prompt and continue

[skiflyer]

Is there a way to pause the preprocessor while waiting for a button response, and then continue based on the value?

i.e. in asp I can say

if msgbox("Are you sure you want to continue",vbYesNo) = vbNo then
	window.close
	Exit Sub
end if

Can I do the same thing in PHP?

Please say yes

You can do this in server-side scripting? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Honestly... it's being done in a mess of a page I inherited and am switching php/javascript, and it looked server side... but now that I dig into a little more, I think you're right... though I'm still investigating... this thing is the biggest combination of vb, vbscript, javascript that I've seen and it's virtually impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends.

(I'll take that as a now to your knowledge in php?)

I'd bet good money that the VB code you're seeing is actually VBScript code that runs on the client.

There is no reason why you cannot use the same thing with PHP -- though I recommend that you do it in JavaScript rather than VBScript. JavaScript is supported by more browsers. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Oh yes, vbscript is making an elegant exit from this page in it's new form...

Thanks for the information.
