Alert using echo in php

Question

Kindly go though the link I want to show an alert message. My insertion is successful and the header also works fine but alert() is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

if(mysql_query($query))//query execution
{
    echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> ';
    echo 'alert("message successfully Inserted")';//msg
    echo '</script>';
    header('location:madesignin.php');//header jump to the page
    exit;       
}
else//data will be not inserted if condition fails
{
    echo "DATA NOT INSERTED";
}

Answer 1

try this code:

if(mysql_query($query))//query execution
{
   echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 
                alert("message successfully Inserted");
                window.location = "madesign.php";
        </script>';
}
else
{
    echo 'DATA INSERTED';
}

 alert("message successfully Inserted"); window.location = "madesign.php"; 

Answer 2

Alert will not work in above situation because redirecting and javascript alert() is calling same time. So it will skip javascript and redirect to page.

Try

if(mysql_query($query))//query execution
{
echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> ';
echo 'if(!alert("message successfully Inserted")) {';//msg
echo ' location.href="madesignin.php"';
echo '}';
echo '</script>';
exit;       
}
else//data will be not inserted if condition fails
{
  echo "DATA NOT INSERTED";
}

You may not need to use Javascript alert. There's a way to send a message after redirecting to a new page using php.

        header("location: thank_you.php?success_message=thanks for shopping with us");

if the statement doesn't run;

else{
    header("location: index.php");
}
exit;

then in the new page called thank_you.php for example, you should display the message;

            <?php if (isset($_GET['success_message'])){ ?>
            <h3 style="color: gold"><?php echo $_GET['success_message']; ?></h3>
                                <?php } ?>
