Popping up a dialog box

[stiej]

Hi,

Is there a function in PHP that is the equivalent of VB's MsgBox or Javascript's alert() - i.e something that will pop up the simplest of dialog boxes/message box/alert box with the usual OK button etc?????

Any guidance much appreciated!

PHP is a server side technology. Once the parse has finished executing the script and the web server has sent the result to the client PHP's job is done.
Pop-up windows are client side events. Thus, PHP cannot help you. It could generate the JavaScript code that makes a window pop-up, but PHP itself can't.

That was quick! Thaks for the help. Will mess around with generating the javascript i think for a bit.

Cheers!
