Hi,

PHP does not print anything in the client's browser.  All that PHP does is create output for the web server to send.  Your PHP
script creates the output (usually in the form of HTML) and then stops executing.  The web server then sends the results in the form
of HTTP to the client.  By the time the client receives it, the PHP script is no longer executing.  There is no live connection
between the browser and PHP, so there is no backward communication.  It sounds like you want Java.
