This isn't possible with PHP alone. The best way to do this now days
is to use javascript. With javascript you can now create a wide range
interactive effects on your website using what is known as "AJAX". Do
a search on google to find some tutorials regarding the subject. I'll
hint you in the obj.hide() direction :)
