if you ask me it wasn't very clear what the OP wanted, I was concerned that
the reference to php being a 'server-side' tool/language would be confusing
to the OP (or give him the wrong impression about php's capabilities).
to the OP: php being serverside is only relevant in terms of using php
as a webserver module; the 'client side' is the browser and php does not
run inside the browser (i.e. a php website can not directly interact with
anything on your own PC (unless the website lives physically on your own pc))
[actually Wez Furlong wrong a plugin for IE IIRC that allows you to use php
in the same way as you might use javascript inside the browser]
