Having got a site up and running against a deadline, using the tried and 
tested CSS + xhtml static route, we're now growing fast and, as we always 
knew, about to outgrow this approach quite soon. We plan to go with 
PHP/MySQL. So far, so good. Our hosting provider already has the apps in 
place.

My question, then, is this: Since we're very much a content-driven site - 
specifically an online magazine - can anyone suggest some relevant reading 
to help us make the transition, please?  Here's our URL: 
www.mountainpassions.com

We have a PHP/MySQL/Apache package set up and running locally, along with a 
basic grounding book, but what we haven't come across so far is anything 
which deals with what for us are the key issues of setting up a 
data-driven/dynamic environment for editorial pages. I guess we're 
'untypical'.

We'd be very grateful for any pointers, bearing in mind that our limited 
budget rules out the obvious route of simply handing the task over to a 
developer.

Thanks.

Hi.
You might be able to just get away with converting the site to use PHP
includes *I now build all my sites this way.
You just place the nav and stuff in a seperate file and write an
include to place that file in the page.
