OK, I see what you mean: PHP could modify links & buttons on a page being downloaded so that a second window would be opened (target="_blank") [if permitted by the browser settings] when the user tried to navigate. However, that child window couldn't close itself like a modal dialog does without using JavaScript, which is the driving constraint of this whole thought-problem.
I have done some clever styling, but I am unaware of how you could hide all of the toolars, etc.
Toolbars? No, I'm not that clever. I was only referring to disabling links and form fields within the HTML page itself. The best I could do using this technique wouldn't exactly mimic a modal dialog, just approximate one.
