How to Redirect Only When a User Clicks Ok on a Popup?

Question

I want a JS popup to appear after something is successfully completed. How do I make it appear, and disappear only when the user closes it, then redirect to the next page? By the way this is in a php file. I used print to print the code for a JS alert to the page, then redirect, but that makes the popup only appear if your computer is very slow - it makes the popup but then quickly redirects. How do I fix this?

If you want to use the redirect() function provided in pset7 I'm not sure how, but in general you can do it like so:

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
        if (confirm('Want to redirect?'))
        {
            location.href = 'http://www.google.com/';
        }
      </script>";
