Unless you are planning to run PHP locally just for yourself: nothing PHP
can do, ask in comp.lang.javascript (and do examine/try one of the
numerous ajax/javascript/XMLHttpRequest examples on the internet yourself).

And yes, you could create a java applet that does this, as long as
visitors enable it, one ot the java groups seems more appropriate it you
choose that route.
