Can PHP send an update signal (popup screen) to other users when a user makes a request on a game?

No, PHP really couldn't do that. This is more of a client side issue.
What you could do is have a small frame (or iframe) that, using 
javascript or meta tags, would reload every minute or so. If you use a 
PHP script as the source of that from you could then check databases or 
files for updates and send back the appropriate javascript to popup a 
window.
