OK, something like this...
0) check that your wbhosting company lets you have PHP
1) convert html files to PHP (change the .html extension to .php)
2) update all internal links in the files you just changed to look
file.php rather than file.html
At this stage the site should now work as before
3) Make life easier for yourself by putting all code that gets repeated
(doctype, css, navigation menu, etc) at the start and end of each file
into separate files called, say header.inc and footer.inc
4)Now use PHP to include those files rather than having the code itself
in each file. Your newly converted html to php files will look something
like
<?php require ("header.inc") ?>
<p> Main web content here </p>
<?php require ("footer.inc") ?>
At this stage the site should now work as before
5)Create the 2 stylesheet files to position the menu on the left and
right sides. Test each.
6)Google for styleswitcher.php. I can't remember where I got the source
for my site from but
http://www.gr0w.com/articles/code/css_stylesheet_switcher_using_php_javascript_free/
will probably work OK.
7)Add this code to header.inc
8) Try it.
9)Debug it :)
Thats the summary of how to do it. Post again whe- if you get stuck.
Hope that helps,
Deryck
