These are the basic PHP principals for building a Content Management System (CMS)
-- INCLUDES FOR BREAKING THE SITE INTO MANAGEABLE PIECES (see index.php)
-- ECHOING out dynamic meta data based on query string variable (see top.php)
-- IF ELSE statments based on if certain query string variables are set (see middle.php)
-- DO WHILE LOOP for going through and displaying record sets based on your query string condition (see middle.php)
-- End all your div tags and body and html tags in bottom.php
