Hmm.. What do you mean by bringing up a message box? If I understand
correctly, you are talking about Java applets, but those run on the
client side so, the system takes care of message processing. PHP script
runs on the server side, there is no way to bring up a message box on
the client machine from within PHP script.
If you want to do something, then ask something of user, and proceed
depending on what the response was, one way to do that would be to have
a script:
1. do something
2. check if response ready
2.1 if ready, goto wherever based on response
2.2 if not, proceed
3. send a page back that contains a form and a javascript that pops up a
message box
4. when the user answers, javascript populates the form with the
response and submits form
5. back to 1.
It's like a login page :)
2. check if login submitted
2.1 if login ok, redirect somewhere
2.2 otherwise, proceed
3. output login form
