How to create popup in PHP?

Question

I want to create a popup in PHP.

Answer 1

You can't create a popup in PHP. You can however have PHP create HTML/Javascript that is sent to the client upon Request and if that client is a browser, you can create a popup.

Answer 2

It's really more of a client side task (ie. HTML or JavaScript). In HTML use the target="_blank" attribute in your <a> tag. In JavaScript, use window.open().

Answer 3

Other answers are correct - it's a client-side thing. However, if you feel evil: echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Really annoying pop-up!');</script>";
