Not really a PHP question, but you could look to see if your friend has a GPS enabled phone and phone service and if there's an API for pulling the location from the phone co's systems. Then you could see if there's a PHP solution for interfacing with that API.
Some cell phone companies let you see where the cell phone is on online maps. Without resorting to FBI or Spy Store tactics, that's probably your best bet. But is only good if they're riding through areas with service for that cell system and only if they have a GPS enabled phone and service that supports tracking.
Lots of If's.

I think that would require tapping the cellphone network, which I doubt
they would let you do since it be a major violation of privacy, because
you could track the general location of anyone on their network.
