That game uses flash. I dont think generating 3d images in PHP would work. I did a map application, it had a lot of code that looked like that (that onion2k helped me with). It ran very slowly though, during load testing we had to make the design decision to "pre render" all our maps and lock the user in distinct zoom levels. You wouldn't be able to serve the images in real time, let alone for 5,000 simultaneous users. The human eye needs about 6-12 FPS to perceive motion, multiply that by a few thousand users and your server would be hurtin. Thats why most online games implement client/server (the client, the desktop PC, renders the "view" and the server just tracks coordinates of player positions and such)
