They are about the same, thier is more online support for php/mysql but their are more books on asp/sql. A good suggestion here is to see what your current host supports.

2) how can i design the database for dynamic content manipulation?
You can create a web gui to edit the information in the database

The rest of your questions are the same, all this can be stored in the database and edited through a gui.

Probably if you are looking for some Content Management Systems, look at hotscripts.

1) Which is best asp/sql server or php/mysql?
If you're starting out, you probably want to use php/mysql because there is so much free support for it everywhere, and free applications and scripts avaiable everywhere as well.

2) how can i design the database for dynamic content manipulation
If it's just content management you're looking for, look around for some content management scripts that have all the work done for you, and you just have to customize. No sense in re-inventing the wheel.

3) table design for dynamic menu
I would suggest staying away from tables as much as you can, which kinda goes hand-in-hand with your next question.

4) Excelent css tutorial for dynamic data driven website.
This is a little confusing, this is kinda like asking for an excellent HTML tutorial for dynamic data driven websites. CSS, like HTML is a presentation layer language and really has very little to do with dynamic data. It's just the way you present dynamic data. However, to see some great CSS ideas and designs, you can visit th following places:

1. www.meyerweb.com
2. www.zeldman.com
3. www.bluerobot.com
4. last but not least: www.csszengarden.com

5) How i can maintain the content of the website.
with a content management script. see above.

6) How i can maintain the images of the website.
Depending on the script you choose, you may or may not be able to associate images with each piece of content and 'maintain' them from a backend interface.

Actually, this is kind a like asking "how do I pick the colour of my car?" *shrug* I don't know, I guess you'll know when you do it :)

HTH.
