Hope to get an answer and/or suggestion or two.

We are trying to change our vertical menu:
http://www.attotech.com/expraid.htmlWe want to change our menu values for each product page so instead of the link going to a generic product page as it does now, opon clickin a tech sheet, certification, software driver, the user would be taken directly to the data(driver, cert, etc.) We want to incorporate a MySQL DB so all product information (press releases, tech PDF's, drivers, software updates, certs) can be stored for easy updates for all the perspective pages.
Can someone please offer any insight on how to do this and/or point me to a completed system or tutorial?

Thank you in advance. I appreciate any help and suggestions.

What you're talking about building is called a database driven website. In my opinion, the best thing you could do for yourself is to buy the book, Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL (http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpmysql1/). This book will teach you everything you need to know about how to build your site in the manner which you described.
