The long answer is "No, at least not directly."
JavaScript runs on the browser, so it can provide that functionality. A version of VBScript can run on either the server or the browser (assuming IIS and IE), so browser-based VBScript can open message boxes.
PHP, however, runs exclusively on the server. You can write a PHP script which outputs the necessary JavaScript or VBScript to open a message box. But it cannot do so directly.
My short answer is, "See Foamcow's post above."

OK, I tried surching for it @ google but I couldn't find anything relevant or directly. I can use vbscript and msgbox function, but how do I parse the information about what I chose. Do I have to perform an "hidden" post/action and request the answer with $_REQUEST???
