Description: ------------ To aide programmers, and for fasting coding techniques it would be wonderful to have a php alert dialog that automatically and/or manually disappears during parsing. Reproduce code: --------------- In the process of coding and for text placement ease, it would be easier for php in the browser to alert any such special echo statements instead of displaying them. It takes on the average of one second to find your echo statement on a full page. I see so many webmasters color coding echo statements. Some going as far as quick code javascript inserts. It would be so easy to include and it would save so much time. Webmasters are always flipping back and forth. I thought it would be good to have the php.ini file contain the config of the alert box such as: interval between two windows from closing to opening whether it was closed manually or automatically time a window is open. have the option to manually or automatically close alert windows This would certainly make debugging so much easier because you can set whether it would display the alert code in the parse later on, therefore it would ignore the alerts but leave them for future debugging instead of commenting them out or erasing them. It's pure PHP genius.
