Is there any such thing? Or is this better left to JScripting?
I'd like to pop up a small dialog box, e.g., when the user decides to delete a record, asking him if they really mean to do this.
Everything except Javascript and Java applets is serverside and therefore cannot do anything on the client.
Use a simple javascript to do the popup. But remember to always check the data in PHP too, because Javascript is not reliable!
A forum, a FAQ, email notification, what else do you need?
The difference between PHP and Jscript that allows JScript to do dialogs and PHP not to, is that PHP is parsed on the server, not in the browser. So no (to my knowledge) it is not possible. It is quite simple in javascript to do this however.
