PHP runs server side, so you can't make an alert with it. You can use PHP to write a javascript alert though, or just echo some text to the screen...

1. Yes, either jump out of PHP, or write it using PHP using echo or print

2. Post the code that is giving you trouble...

this is the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Admin Login</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#F0FFFF>
<?
$user=$HTTP_POST_VARS["user"];
$password=$HTTP_POST_VARS["password"];

if(empty($user)||empty($password))
{
?>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
alert("Login Error!!! Please check your login details and login again.");
//-->
</script>
<?
}
?>
</body>
</html>
