Using the msgBox Class to create Message Boxes

msgBox by Vedanta Barooah < vedanta.barooah at gmail dot com >

Jack Said!
s	This is just a Message
OK Cancel

Add the style sheet to the page

First you need to include the main class file.

include("msgbox.inc.php");

Create the instance of the class

$a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","OKCancel","Jack Said!" );

The constructor takes three parameters:
The message to be displayed,
The buttons in the message box and
The title of the message box.

Following are the valid arguments for the 2nd parameter:
OKOnly: Displays only the OK Button
OKCancel: Displays OK and Cancel Button
AbortRetryIgnore: Abort, Retry and Cancel
YesNoCancel: Yes, No, Cancel
YesNo: Yes and No
RetryCancel: Retry Cancel

// these are the valid args for the second param
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","OKOnly","Jack Said!" );
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","OKCancel","Jack Said!" );
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","AbortRetryIgnore","Jack Said!" );
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","YesNoCancel","Jack Said!" );
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","YesNo","Jack Said!" );
# $a=new msgBox("This is just a Message ","RetryCancel","Jack Said!" );

The class need an array of links to create the buttons. For each button it requires a page to which it creates the link.

// define the links
$links=array("abort.php","retry.php","ignore.php");
// make the links
$a->makeLinks($links);

The final step draws the msgBox
Enjoy!

// draw the message box
$a->showMsg();
