What is the best way to create popups in php?

[RudiVisser]

PHP is a serverside language.

You can not make popups with PHP. You would generally use Javascript with window.open to create a popup window, but even moreso most interfaces should be easy enough to complete without this.

An overlay like that can be very easily made. The approach I would normally take is as follows:
Design a DIV in a location (center screen?) that you want to be popped up.
Also add a div that covers the whole screen as a "backdrop", so your other div/window stands out.
When you're done, set the overlay/window divs classes to be display:none.
Using Javascript when your specific action is performed, simply set the display to 'block'... Et voila.

It's actually a very simple thing to do, I think you'll be surprised when you think about it, so long as you're relatively proficient in HTML / CSS / JS.

Don't use jQuery.
