PHP driven art project

Hi,

I'm making a simple art project where people can make a simple black and white drawing by clicking squares in an 8x8 grid. This part is done: http://conversaticon.com/8x8x1.php. When they submit the drawing, I want to store the data, and have another part of the page display the drawings. The other part of the page will update with new drawings whenever someone refreshes the browser window.

My thinking is that I should get an array from the drawing, 0's and 1's, depending on which boxes are clicked. Then I should store the array in a mysql database. The page should query the database, and loop through all entries. For each entry, it should create an array from the stored 0's and 1's. Then take that data and sub-loop to write out the html to build the 8x8 grid (I did it using CSS; maybe a table is better?)

As you can see, I can build a mental picture of how this could all work, but executing it is where I fall short. So thanks for any help!
