Hi,

No, you need to use Javascript's alert() function. PHP is server-side only.

Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server are limited only by the space available on the
server. Access has a defined limit, but it's quite large (2 gigs, I think),
and it chokes when you have more than 5 connections open.
I would *strongly* advise you not to use Access for a website - give MySQL
or Postgres a go, they both beat it hands down. Access is a desktop
database, not a server - it's great for holding your CD collection, but
that's about it :-)
Cheers
