Confirm deletion of data row

Hi there

On the portfolio where you delete a player,it must ask to confirm to delete the player on the delete.php page AND give some details of the player,so javascript wont work there because PHP first get executed on the server before javascript,so my player gets deleted when my page loads.
if i put an if function like "if($_POST['submit']) (where submit is my delete button's name) to run the delete code only when the button 'post', then nothing happens.its like the code cannot execute the sql query inside an if function.
Someone knows how to run the query inside an if function?

You can just add another if statement. The confirmation question is passed back to the same page with the relevant information .

Language: PHP
if submit... confirmation question
if confirmation question response....delete
