I'm interested in turning my static html pages into dynamic php pages. I know this is possible, but does anyone have any tips. My site has grown a lot and we have a lot of contributors...Im tired of updating it on my own and archiving it manually.


Any ideas?

You couldn't possibly be more vague about what you want buddy... but no matter. Without previous programming or relational database experience you might struggle. If you want to teach yourself how to make your site dynamic, you need to start small and work your way up.

Read lots of tutorials and play around a little. Then set yourself exercises such as:

Write a script that loads text from a database into a page to display in a browser.
Amend the script so it reads different pieces of text based on GET variables.
Amend the script so the text in your database is more like an article, giving it date and title columns.
Amend the script to build an index page listing those articles in chronological order.
Amend the script to build a page that shows the latest 3 articles and a calendar archiving past articles.
Add another table to your database that gives each of those articles categories.
Amend your script to accomodate those categories.

And so on and so forth until you're comfortable enough with PHP/MySQL to build your own bespoke interface for your site. A good place to start is always http://www.webmonkey.com/ and once you're proficient with the basics of the languages everything you need is on php.net or mysql.com

MarkyH gave you some good advice, but if your not interested in learning PHP/mySQL, or find it to complicated you may want to look into using a CMS such as Mambo or Xoops.
