When trying to use PHP, ask in comp.lang.php.
As it's of topic here, I'll just say look at PHP's DOM
(http://www.php.net/DOM), http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php,
combined with the XSLT processor
(http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/class.xsltprocessor.php, have a look at
XSLTProcessor::transformToDoc), which probably will do what you want in an
embarrasingly small amount of code.

That last part is just a CSS property of the container of course, using
overflow:auto & max-height, ask in
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets when in doubt.
