How to code a site in php to save on html files ?

[DezUk]

I am a complete n00b to php but I am working on a website project that is going to involve a lot of links, hence a lot of html files if I were to code it in standard html. The site will consist of a list of 380 links. I have started on the site and so have the first 10 links listed and already I am running into lots of html files, hence the need for a better way of managing this.

Can anyone suggest any tutorials that will teach me how to store the data from the pages in a database and call it via php ?

Or are there better ways of doing what I am trying to achieve ?


Thanks.

Don't try and run before you can walk. Read through www.php.net/tut before you do anything else.
