Yes, it is; I'm not sure how this prevents you from printing something.

Your PHP script - and most other CGI scripts like it - don't interact with a web browser in real-time, it runs once on page load then quits. Your program has already quit by the time someone is looking at its output, and clicking would either cause another page load (of the same script or a different one), or trigger something to happen in the page's HTML, or execute a javascript program.

The simplest way would be to use HTML expanding sections, like this:

Code:
<details>
    <summary>Clickable Part</summary>
    Hidden Part
</details>

BB-ACK.CGI(1)						      General Commands Manual						     BB-ACK.CGI(1)

NAME
bb-ack.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts SYNOPSIS
bb-ack.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text DESCRIPTION
bb-ack.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-ack.sh CGI wrapper. bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters. PARAMETERS
ACTION is the action to perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to acknowledge an alert. NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged. It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Xymon. DELAY is the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid. MESSAGE is an optional text which will be shown on the status page while the acknowledgment is active. You can use it to e.g. tell users not to contact you about the problem, or inform them when the problem is expected to be resolved. OPTIONS
--no-pin bb-ack.cgi normally requires the user to enter the acknowledgment code received in an alert message. If you run it with this option, the user will instead get a list of the current non-green statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without knowing the code. --no-cookies Normally, bb-ack.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list of hosts presented. If this is not desired, you can turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed in the CGI_ACK_OPTS setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5) --env=FILENAME Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script. --debug Enables debugging output. FILES
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_header HTML header file for the generated web page $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_footer HTML footer file for the generated web page $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_form Query form displayed when bb-ack.cgi is called with no parameters. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages. QUERY_STRING Contains the parameters for the CGI script. BUGS
When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the acknowledgment page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for acknowledging from their main page which is not what you would expect. SEE ALSO
