What stateless means is that every time you run a PHP script, it loads, runs, and quits by the time the user gets it. Each time is a fresh start.
php does have a directory-changing function -- chdir() -- but since the script quits every time it finishes it won't stay where you put it.
If you want a remote shell, how about ssh?
