Hi,
For a project I need to create a visual/graphical bin-packing algorithm program and I was planning to use Java with JavaFX to make it a normal GUI computer app - however, as I don't like Java that much and I have way more experience in PHP and jQuery, I was wondering if you guys think it would be possible to make this project as a website using PHP and jQuery because I haven't worked with PHP for a long time and I'm not sure if the appropriate tools are available to make something like this.
Basically this is what I want to do:
- Ask user how many bins he wants and with what sizes + a set of numbers they would like to use to fill the bins with
- Draw/show the bins on one side of the page and the numbers on the other side
- Have the ability to drag numbers into any bin
- Once the bin is full, it gets filled with a red background
- The ability to write the bin-packing algorithm itself in PHP and have a button that can do it all for the user automatically
Do you think something similar to this would be possible at all as a website or would I be better off using JavaFX to create an application? Please note that this is just a whole concept I had in mind, so I wasn't assuming what's actually doable and what's not within the time frame I got (until the first week of May).
I would really appreciate any thoughts on this
Thanks!

First of all thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated!
Just a question came to my mind: wouldn't I need to write the bin-packing algorithm itself in PHP?
