How can PHP developers ensure secure deletion functionality without relying on JavaScript confirm()?

To ensure secure deletion functionality without relying on JavaScript confirm(), PHP developers can implement a server-side confirmation mechanism. This can be achieved by adding an additional step in the deletion process where the user must confirm their action by submitting a form or clicking a button. This way, the deletion action is initiated only after the user has explicitly confirmed their intention. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST' && isset($_POST['confirm_delete'])) {
    // Perform deletion action
    // Add code here to delete the record
    echo "Record deleted successfully.";
} else {
    // Display confirmation message and form
    echo "Are you sure you want to delete this record?";
    echo "<form method='post'>";
    echo "<input type='submit' name='confirm_delete' value='Yes'>";
    echo "</form>";
}
?>
