Each seat is a number. Create an image map that selects individual seats as unique numbers in a form. Then upon form submission the selected seat number is processed in the database. What exact part of development are you having trouble with and what have you done so far?

best,

It saddens me to say this, but let's be realistic: you seem to be way in over your head. I would ask a reasonably experienced php developer to assist you, and develop the application for you.

Or be prepared to spend the coming few months learning to write php yourself. This cinema ticket system can get trickier than you think, and the complexity really depends on the requirements which you have not stated here. Do you need a backend for the ticketer staff? How will you deal with payments? How do you deal with different events/showings? etc.

There are no step by step guides for these types of web applications, because they are way too specific.

Might I suggest you have a look at this open source box office ticketing system with built-in paypal support: http://www.fusionticket.org/index.php/home1/demo
