I suppose it could be done if you're a masochist. Take a very basic 
operation, zooming in. You'd have to inform the PHP back end somehow. It 
would then have to request a new set of tiles from the tile server based 
on the Z level, render a complete new page, and serve it back to the 
browser. That would be smoother than a baby's ass.

With JavaScript the browser is making the calls for new tiles and 
rendering them. You can watch the calls in the developer's console of 
Chrome, Brave, or whatever. The browser also caches tiles to minimize web 
traffic if you're panning for example.
