You'll need to post the php code so we can see what's happening.

the simple client-side solution is...

<form onsubmit="return window.confirm('Are you sure?');"...

OR...
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onsubmit="return window.confirm('Are you sure?');"...

I wouldn't do that with JS!

Ok, Brian wasn't very clear whether he wanted to 1) 'ask the visitor if he realy wants to submit the form' or if he wants to 2) 'validate the data on the form before submitting it'.

In my previous post I answered 1).

2) If this is what you want, then...
assuming that you want to perform some type of validation before the form is submitted, you will need to use javascript.
This would by no means replace serve-side validation and you should still validate every bit of data on the server.

and if this is the case, then you need to tell us what you want to validate...

Either way ... I would use a server-side language to perform the task. In the off-chance that JS is disabled.

That's what I said...
Server-side validation is a must have always ever in any scenario for ever and ever!

But javascript validation helps reduce the load on your server...
