Confirm button before running deleting routine from website

Yes, you can add a confirm button before running a delete routine on a website using PHP. Here is an example of how this can be done:

1. Create a delete button or link that, when clicked, will trigger the delete routine. For example, you can create a link with the text "Delete" and an id of "delete_button".

<a href="#" id="delete_button">Delete</a>

2. Use JavaScript to attach an event listener to the delete button. When the button is clicked, the event listener will display a confirm dialog box asking the user to confirm or cancel the delete action.

document.getElementById("delete_button").addEventListener("click", function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")){
        // Run the delete routine
    }
});

3. To run the delete routine, you can use an ajax call to the PHP script that performs the delete action.

if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")){
        $.ajax({
            url:"delete_script.php",
            type:"post",
            data:{
                id: item_id
            },
            success: function(response) {
                if(response=="success"){
                    //Do something like removing the item from the page
                }
            }
        });
    }

4. In the PHP script, you can use the received id to delete the item from the database

<?php
    $id = $_POST['id'];
    //Delete query here
    echo "success";
?>

This is a basic example and can be modified to fit the specific requirements of your website.
