What are the best practices for implementing a deletion confirmation dialog in PHP applications?

When deleting data in a PHP application, it is important to implement a deletion confirmation dialog to prevent accidental deletions. This can be achieved by using JavaScript to display a confirmation pop-up before the deletion action is executed. 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['delete'])){
    // Display a confirmation dialog using JavaScript
    echo '<script>
            if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?")){
                // If user confirms, proceed with deletion
                // Add your deletion logic here
            }
          </script>';
}
?>
