Im experementing with CSS and html, Im wondering if PHP would make it possable to create a sort of variable file where i can hold my navagation stuff in one single place so i dont have to alter every page every time i add stuff to sidebar navigation.

Yup PHP can easily do that.

<? include("navigation.txt"); ?>

In navigation.txt you would have the HTML code for the menu. :)

It's working for me :/ You could have a look on http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp and http://www.phpfreaks.com/ for the time being; there's so much about PHP on Google - it's a very popular language. :)

Oh! I was going to say this a while ago but my computer died as I was typing it...

If you don't already have Apache etc, then just grab a copy of http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html - it contains everything you need (PHP, Apache, MySQL etc) in one easy install. :)

Thanks, i got it. man php reminds me alot of C or C# im not sure which, but, its alot more natural than HTML/CSS, and its powerful.. Im doing stuff that just isnt possable with HTML/CSS from newbie tutorials.

Yup it's very powerful. Well (X)HTML/CSS is for layout and design; PHP is server side so you can create much more dynamic sites etc.
