    Hi,

    I am looking into doing a website but have never used php before and it has been a couple of years since i put anything together web wise. Basically I have a template for my site including side and top menu and i am wondering if it is possible to have these as a base for all of the pages maybe using php or stylesheets or whatever and having the content loaded dynamically after selecting a link from the side menu.

    My main aim is to centralise the side menu so i can add, delete links from one central location that will be picked up by all the other pages and to have dynamic content (images) loaded from a mysql DB. I am basically putting together a photography website and want to set it up so maintenance is minimal and that each page has the same layout (Logo, side and top menu) so if i add a new section i dont need to edit each page individually.

    Any suggestions/advice on the best way to approach this would be greatly appreciated...

    You could have a look at smarty, http://smarty.php.net/. I've used a bit and its very handy for templates and will do what you want.
    Also, I'm sure there's plenty of other offerings also, but this is the only one I have experience in.

    I use EcwCMS for that type of thing.
