PHP is it possible

[Arya]

Let's say I make an app - on the app, I have a frame. Within the frame is a youtube video inserted by pinging youtubes server(the video isn't stored on my harddrive)

If I shrink the frame to about the size of a dime (and subsequently, the video) and then put an image overlay on top of the shrunken video, is PHP capable of allowing me to click on the overlay, thereby activating the play function of the video?

PHP generates HTML pages server-side to be displayed by your browser. So the simple answer is no.

Learn about javascript and css and see where that takes you.

Yeah Javascript can do this without much trouble at all, even plain HTML + CSS likely

It depends on what you want to achieve, if you just want the image-overlay's alpha to fade to 0 and the play button to be activated. Then Javascript will be your option.

If you want to fetch the Youtube video after the button is pressed then you'll need to use a mixture of Javascript/PHP or AJAX as it's commonly known. This will reload the html without refreshing the page.
