Ajax RPG Game Map - With PHP and SQL (a push in the right direction)

[bamfon]

Just need someone to show me in what area I should start looking todo this 

 

just need a helping hand to start on the basic 

 

I would like to have an Ajax based map, where the player explore the maps ( yeah, serveral maps like plains, dungeons, lakes.. etc ).

Imagine a Pokemon Game for example. The user plays around the field and when it is in specific points, then turn up a button where they can perform some actions that will call the coding for  battles  

 

 

IE the game map below

Do you know any php and database programming at all? If not, I suggest you start with the traditional "hello world" tutorial.
