Is it possible for PHP to retrieve client-side data like anchor tags?

PHP is a server-side language and cannot directly access client-side data like anchor tags. To retrieve client-side data in PHP, you can use JavaScript to send the data to the server via AJAX requests or form submissions. This allows PHP to process the data and send a response back to the client. 

```php
// PHP code to handle AJAX request
if(isset($_POST['data'])){
    $clientData = $_POST['data'];
    
    // Process client data here
    
    echo "Data processed successfully";
}
```

In this code snippet, PHP checks if there is a POST request with 'data' parameter sent from the client. It then retrieves the client data and processes it accordingly. Finally, it sends back a response to the client.
