Looking for programming approach ideas for php site.

Hi, sorry for ambiguous title but here's the situation:

I'm working on a project for a local theatre group and am trying to develop an interactive seating plan for them to sell seats on, here's the requirements:
  1. press an image of a seating block
  2. choose number of rows and seats
  3. position it on the page
  4. store available and taken seats

Here's where I need your help:

Is there a way that I can have an image representing a seating block to create a new php object when clicked? I'm guessing JavaScript or HTML canvas??

Once that's done, I'm guessing I just store the rows and seats in an array, and create a new table (mysqli) to store the row, seat and availability.

I'm not asking for any code here, just some suggestions for technologies or a way to approach it.

I apologise if its not very clear, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Newbim.

    Depends on what type of cross browser compatibility you need before determining how to build this. You have the old school option of flash to build this quickly. You can go the image map approach if you want to get out quickly (which may not be a terrible idea depending on scope and budget). You can go the hardcore route and do this via html5 but i suspect that will be quite a bit of work especially if each theater is different.

    You will of course have to store all the information in the database.

    Actually spend the $20 on this and get yourself a baseline. you can probably just customize it.
