RE: Dynamic content with PHP like javascript?

PHP is a "server side" scripting language. That means it runs on the *server* and its output is sent to the client. This means that once your code runs and sends output to the browser, that's it. Javascript, on the other hand, is a *client side* scripting language (in this case). To run code on the client that would give the results you want, you'd have to use Javascript.
