PHP is a server-side language - you generate HTML/JS from it, the browser doesn't see PHP because it interprets the actual file PHP/server outputs.
You probably want the window.confirm method:
var continueOn = window.confirm('proceed?');
if ( continueOn ) {
alert('go on');
} else {
alert('exit');
}

Considering PHP is executed on the server-side, you cannot have this kind of "pop-up" in PHP : you'll have to go with some Javascript code, that's executed on the client-side (ie, in the user's browser).

No, PHP is server side.
The best that you can do is to have PHP output HTML/JS that creates pop ups (whether they're floating divs, JS alerts, etc.).
