PHP is fun because it is extremely powerful, but nonetheless has a pretty easy learning curve. This is one of its greatest strengths and weaknesses, since it sometimes encourages people who don't know much about programming to launch ambitious projects, only later to realize that a bit more discipline, which is 'optional' in PHP (you have to willingly follow guidelines) but enforced in other languages, would have saved a lot of time and effort in debugging, long-term code maintenance, and code collaboration.

Getting your basic site into php and just having the header - footer included would require about two minutes of reading and a few more minutes of actual work (if you go the route of parsing your html files as php), I'd be happy to explain but it's time for me to log out.

I hope you find a solution for your problem that is easy on maintenance and maximizes the fun thing.
