PHP is serverside, it won't see what the user does on their browser.

If you want to fetch data from a database that will be automatically fetched
when a user types something, then neither php nor javascript are any good
solutions, but could be done with a lot of hacking.

I would in that case suggest a java applet that can use jdbc to connect to the
database and fetch the data needed.
