Heya,

OK - I have a site I've been working on on and off for a while. It started
as a static page, then I changed it so it uses php. This was great - until I
started putting content in the design. I now have about 300 *.inc files for
the site, and updating them is a joke!

The site is designed in a heirachical way:

Top
  Section 1
    id 1
    id 2
    id 3
    id 4
  Section 2
    id 1
    id 2
    id 3
  Section 3
    id 1
    id 2
    id 3
    id 4
etc...

I'm using 1 file for the code - index.php?sect=XX&id=XX and the nav menus
are dynamically generated and populated on the page along with the content
which is filled by an inc file in directory: root/php/"sectname"/"id".inc
where "sectname" is the name of a section defined in an array in index.php
(eg, section 6 is "synthesizers"). The images and headings on the page are
also dynamically generated (images have a number eg "2.jpg" for the heading
of section 2 etc.)

In sections 6 though, ids 2-6 are based on one template, so i have 5 files:
2.inc, 3.inc, ... 6.inc all exactle the same, just containing <?
require_once('php/synthesizers/template.inc') ?>
This seems somewhat stupid.

Oer X-Mas & New Year, I want to entirely recodethe site so it is more "user
friendly" for me to maintain. I am slowly getting better and better at php
so it should be good.

Does ANYONE have any pointers as to how to start and do this thing. Any
ideas for how my site should be layed out (directory-wise etc - is it easier
to have 1 directory per section and hold everything in it - images included,
or is it best to have a separate img/ directory??).

many thanks all - Seasons greets!!

Martin
