Sure. But not with PHP.
PHP is working "behind the scenes", at the webserver. Not at the client.
What you can do is write a program (intended for the client operating
system). Associate this plugin with a specific mimetype so the browser will
execute it when this mimetype (or extension) is received from the server,
then let this program respond to the server with serial data.
