How to realize this function in php?

The site you mentioned uses jquery to perform its tasks. If you are looking to build a similar site, then you will also have to use jquery or some other ajax framework, you can't do it with pure php unless you use xajax which is the ajax framework for php.

You can look at the source of the page to see how it's done. I doubt that the server side part of this website is hard.
