You want to create a web page that scans and displays the wifi networks around the user who's browsing your site? That's not possible.
With php, the code runs server-side so you cannot detect the user's wifi networks, only those around the server (assuming it has access to a wifi adapter)
With client-side javascript, that can't be done. Unless you use Node.js, but that runs server-side just like php.

With browserify you could run nodejs stuff on clientside

No you can't. You can convert the code to run in the browser but it won't have access the underlying subsystem that node.js has. There will be a lot of missing system calls you can perform on node.js that don't work in a browser.
