Sorry but you have completely mis-understood how php works.
Client browser - "Web server! send me this resource"
Web server - "OK" [ FX rummages around while running AND FINISHING a php
script] "Here it is now - Thank you and have a nice day"
Client browser - "User I will show you the HTML just sent to me by the
server"
Javascript = client side
php = server side. [ie no interaction]
