Automatic Alert box

[bobrivers2003]

Is it possible to automatically generate an alert box from php without using either onClick() or onLoad() functions?

for($counter=1; $counter<10; $counter+=1){
echo $counter;
alert('Alert');
}

This obviously doesn't work but is there something that does?


Many Thanks

You must keep in mind that PHP runs on the server, not the client. That means that PHP can't directly cause a dialog box to open on the browser like JavaScript of VBScript can.

The only participation PHP can have in the process is to output some JavaScript or VBScript that can be interpreted on the browser side and make the browser open the dialog.
