PHP is a server-side implementation. Do you want the user to reload the page in order to see the flash element? If not, go with Javascript. See sample posted above.

All you need is a DIV with an ID, and toggle it's display attribute.

All you need is a DIV with an ID, and toggle it's display attribute.

actually all you would need is an span tag and innerHTML
