Message Popup in PHP

Felix Rabinovich

is there a function in PHP to get a message popup on the web page? Couldn't
find any (or missed it) in the docs; so I am now putting "echo <script>
alert(whatever)</script>" whic feels really strange... there go to be a
better solution...

Thx

No.. PHP is server side what you're after is client side.. so JS (or
some other client scripting) like you have is your only method =)

There is no better solution. PHP is a server-side language after all. Things
that appears on the client side must rely on a client-side language.

The better solution is not to use pop-ups. Good web browsers do not
allow JavaScript to open windows indirectly (i.e. without the user
specifically clicking a JS link), so a lot of users will never see your
lovingly crafted pop-up messages.

Unless you're talking about warning dialogues, in which case, yeah -
you'll have to just echo JS to the page.
