I'm trying to design a PHP webpage...

[Slim Cutty]

I run a vbulletin board and have become familiar with php and mysql database.
I see alot of webpages changing over from html to php, perl, cgi, asp etc.

The thing is, the damn tutorials are confusing as hell and they don't really help out. I want a similar set up like the one at hiphopgame.com with a main page primarily php... don't know what direction to go in

do I name my index page index.php and between the php script put my html code? Of course I know I will have to include the backend call/receive from the database but I just want to know is this the right direction?

Help Please..lol thanks

unless you are going to make use of php functions, variables, etc... on your front page, there isnt a need to have it
but if your page has any type of php code, then yes it needs to be named .php, and you would place html code in between php blocks
