You can't do that with PHP in a web environment. HTTP is stateless and PHP is a server side language, so it only works on request and response. You can use AJAX for that, but if you're doing that anyways you may as well put the burden entirely on the JS for the calculations.
What you can do is keep track of the sum and pass it through a hidden field on the form. Then you can keep self submitting the form and so long as the sum is > 0, you simply provide only one field to add to it, otherwise you give two fields to add together.
