Does PHP have a "virtual browser"?

Question

Hi

I want to extract data from a website, but it uses some weird javascript, so I can not do the work with cURL. I want to know if there is something like a virtual browser that opens a page, and I can trigger a click on some buttons?

If there is no executable program to perform this task through the command line?
