    Message Popup in PHP

    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
    Felix

      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.
