php popup alert message

[Tasmanian Devil]

Is it possible to have php to have a alert message popup if the user does not have cookies and/or js enabled? and when ok is pressed then the browser closes itself?

Thanks

No, PHP runs serverside, and cannot manipulate objects on the clients end. You'll just have to print a message...

well would it be possible to put a hidden input field on the page, then if cookies are enabled, javascript takes that variable inside the input and pops up an alert based on that?

although it might be hard to figure out whether JS is enabled, considering if it isnt, you wont get any alert no matter how hard you try....

Yes, but you can detect if javascript is enabled or not...
