How to show messagebox in PHP

Question

I am new to PHP. I have to display a message box asking if new record is required or we can copy and modify an old record to the user while adding a new record. How can I do this? Please help.

What did you try so far? Messageboxes are usually in JavaScript — toesslab, Jun 03 '14 at 07:48
PHP is a server framework, are you looking for a javascript function to display to your users in the browser? (it's called confirm() ) — Anders Bornholm, Jun 03 '14 at 07:49
I tried using modal forms and javascript but not able to get the result. — user3678823, Jun 03 '14 at 07:49

I have to say that PHP _is not_ a framework. You can use pure javascript or some frontend javascript framework (like jquery-ui) to do it — kosmos, Jun 03 '14 at 07:52

I usually use this for messageboxes:

function alert($string)
{
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("' . $string . '");</script>';
}

Not the cleanest method, but usually works without problems.
