As for the javascript vs. PHP it really doesn't matter. The operational difference here is that you can deploy the javascript solution without any help from me, but I'd have to bake the PHP into the scripts here. Would be super easy to do (just drop it in) but it wouldn't really be any better than the javascript so I don't see the point.
(Well, I guess the PHP is better in the case where someone has their javascript turned off. But I don't think many people turn javascript off these days as a) tons of sites rely on it so you'd break things all over the place, and b) the reason we all used to turn javascript off - to cut down on pop up windows - isn't necessary any more since all good browsers have a separate way to block pop up windows without completely disabling javascript.)
