That's right. Add the dialog form to the markup and position it
absolutely to appear centered a bit down from the top of the
window. To imitate a modal dialog, disable all other links and form
controls by tweaking the markup in PHP before download. (I can't
recall how cross-browser successful it is to cover up the page with a
large transparent image to disable all UI, but that might be worth exploring.)
I think the only real difference here is that in a "true" pop-up
dialog box, the pop-up window appears above the previous window and
goes away after the dialog leaving the previous window. However,
that may be accomplished if php can generate two browser windows --
I don't know if it can, but I suspect it might.
I'm not aware that PHP can ask a browser to open a second window
without using JavaScript.
What I'm suggesting would LOOK like a second window appearing on top
of the primary window, then going away, when it would actually be a
single page cleverly styled.
