What are some potential pitfalls when using JavaScript alerts in PHP?

One potential pitfall when using JavaScript alerts in PHP is that the alert may not display properly if the PHP code is generating content before the JavaScript alert is called. To solve this issue, you can use JavaScript to delay the alert until the page has fully loaded. 

<?php
// PHP code generating content
echo "Hello, world!";

// JavaScript code to delay alert until page fully loads
echo "<script> window.onload = function() { alert('This is a JavaScript alert!'); } </script>";
?>
