RE: [PHP-DB] How-to pass informational mysql messages to the browser

I like to use a js alert box to notify the users /*************************************************************************

              alert box popup confimation message function

*************************************************************************/ function confirm($msg) { echo "<script langauge=\"javascript\">alert(\"".$msg."\");</script>"; }//end function Then in the code I create the message as needed. In your case, you can validate the query worked and then do : $msg = "Tape deleted"; //simple to even add the tape number in as well confirm($msg); bastien

I have a system that adds and deletes tape id's from mysql via a PHP front end. I would like to pass the same success/failure messages that I would get if I performed the add/delete directly within mysql. For example, If I delete a tape from the db within mysql, after I hit enter I get the following message: mysql> delete from tape_tracking_test where media_id like 'TR44'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec) I would like to display this message to the browser: Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec) Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Mike -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
