I don't think you'll find anything in PHP as simple as the shell
script version of dialog, but you may be able to bang something
together like that using ncurses.

Probably handier if your time is more important than the machines, to
just use the shell version using one of the Program Executions
functions.

Personally I suggest passthru:
<?php

function yesno($str){
$tmpvar = 0; // to avoid E_NOTICE
passthru("dialog --yesno " . escapeshellarg($str) . " 200 10", $tmpvar);
return $tmpvar;
}

?>
