Tile maps for a game

Hi all,

I may sound real vague on this but here I go.

I want to learn how some of these web based games create the maps that you traverse across through the browser.

I wish to do this in PHP, mainly because I know it a little bit more than anything else I do.

Could someone point me in the direction of PHP resources that are particularly aimed at PHP game development? Or even onto sites that give you structured theory on tile/map programming. I don't even know the proper terminology.

Thanks
Jim

Do you mean isometric graphical tile maps, horizontal/vertical scrolling tile graphical maps or text based MUD maps?
