PHP is server side. You cannot open a message box on the client; all
you can do is send html.

The other answers here are the only way you can do it in PHP. You can
bring up a message box in javascript (which is client-side), but then
you need to determine if the data the user input is valid in javascript
- once the page is submitted to the server for PHP to process the
browser has no further access to it.
