Why you want to do this? There are encryption implementations for both JavaScript and PHP. But note that a JavaScript <> PHP encryption/decryption can't be secure since the algorithm and encryption key must be public in the javascript. You can only strengthen it by obfuscating the javascript code (making it unreadable, hiding the secure key).
Why is a secure connection (https) no option in this case?

I agree. It just makes sense to use https.
