Ok, well, I have made my new design for my website.. a simple.. website template I made in Adobe Photoshop and coded in Dreamweaver.. and I kind of ran into a problem. And I don't know what to do. Basically how can I manage the content on the front of the page, because I still want it to be my blog also. And I would like to add pages with tutorials, FAQs, games, etc etc. I was thinking about just doing this..

<?PHP include("header.php") ?>
<?PHP include("navigation.php") ?>
Content here.
<?PHP include("footer&misc.php") ?>

But, I don't know if this is the easiest way, and an actually safe and simple way to organize dynamic content on each page. Such as the tutorial pages, contact page, etc etc. What ideas do you have on this? I pretty much am stomped on what to do. :angrylooking:

Just use one page and categories.
Like the links would be like:

<a href="pages.php?cat=tut">Tutorials</a>
<a href="pages.php?cat=blog">Blog</a>
<a href="pages.php?cat=faq">FAQ</a>

In the database have a category field to hold the category names.
Then when you enter data in your admin panel the add page has a dropdown with the choice of categories you have.

Yea, use the GET php command in your page. And have your header and footer all set up on the index.php and have the include be something like,

<?php include ('$page.php') ?>

And have what ever link you click make the page = that like,

<a href= "index.php?page=home">Home</a>

and then just upload both pages, but make sure that home.php doesn't have any of the header or footer code.

I'm not good at explaining in detail, but hopefully it will be enough to get my point across.
