remote php and local computer

Hi all,
I wondered if a php script on a server can access the local files of a computer connected to that server? I have heard that php can look at folders on the server, so I know it has functions for folder management, and I thought I had heard somewhere about it being able to do this on a local machine? It seems like a security risk, but all the same... is it possible?

Have a great day,
Alex
