I don't think you can do it with that form.
You can get it to dump files - and then open them.
Something like
tcpick -a -i wlan0 -wR -F2 "port 8100"&

You could also in principle in myscript.php, launch anotrher copy of
tcpick when you first see data.
This has a race condition - if multiple connections come in, one
will be  missed, and it won't trigger the next file till the first
one sends data.
