phpMyAdmin(.org) is a GUI web interface for managing MySQL databases. it's open source, so if you like what you see, you can dig around in the code and "borrow"... they pop-up confirmations on delete and empty type queries.
as for a simple confirmation script... I don't really have the time right now.... but think of it this way... - fill in form, POST to a confirmation form - confirmation form echos what's about to happen back out onto the screen - confirmation form has many hidden inputs which carry the values - click yes, form submitted to a process page, containing the values submitted In other words, you have to pass the original form contents THROUGH an intermediate page which says "are you sure?".
