I apologize for asking such a beginner question, but i'm unsure on where else I could go to get such help. I'm currently creating a php website using GoggleApp Engine. I've created a very simple form using html in the same file as my PHP. Now, I know this isn't good practice, so I want to break up my html into it's own file. My only question is, how would I re-write this code assuming that my html is in it's own file?
It is perfectly fine to place your PHP code in the same file as your HTML code. However, if you are going to duplicate code, it would be best to have separate files (maybe say a header and footer file).
That way you can use require_once("header.php") and require_once("footer.php") in each file that wants to use the top and bottom portions of your code.
As Sven mentioned, you can look into templating. You can also look into coding habits such as MVC (Model View Controller) and similar methods.

I have downloaded a several nulled website templates for testing purposes.
I was wondering if I could combine them into one webpage?
For example, take category page layout from one webpage and implement it to other webpage. Is it possible to create webpage using php and html files combined, lets say index.html and contact.php?
Thank You in advance.
YES, you can. But, it's fairly not easy though.
When you are combining two different templates, each have seperate stylesheets and possible Javascript/JQuery scripts, which conflicts between the two.
And you can combine php and html files in same file.
Just use <?php at the beginning of php code and ?> at the end of php code.
Hope this helps. :)
Yes, it's just a matter of copying the section of code from one file and pasting it in the other. Which is why templates are available in the first place. But notice that you can't go copying PHP code and placubgit in a .html file.

I'm trying to make a dynamic timeline like facebook that can post pictures and descriptions with dates using mysql php for database. I put bootstrap because I like their design, and it's easy to use.
My problem is i don't know where to begin or where do I study it.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Any suggestions?
What a generic question... this seems to me an impossible question to answer but maybe you need just some little advices to begin studying the right languages which you can use to achieve what you want.
First of all please provide an image of what you want to do and more important the fundamental languages that you have to know are HTML (obviously), CSS, Javascript and PHP for some server side script.
Talking specifically about your problem, here is where you can see some open examples with well commented code that allows you to understand everything.

I am trying to create an application that will have some similar looking pages. I am not sure what is the best way to do this.
Each page will have a header, side bar, content and footer.
The tricky part here is the sections will be similar but not the same. For example the header can have a combobox and different pages will have different data. One page will have a textbox.
The data will come from SQL server via PHP.
What would be the best way to handle this?
If you are using PHP then take a look into http://www.h2o-template.org/ - the templates will allow you to create similar structures and keeping them maintanable most importantly.
You can then have base template which encapsulates all of the similarities and extend sub templates from that which make each page unique.

I just want anyone to correct me if I'm wrong. Can I create a CMS by making a file where you log in as an admin and then you can write an article and send it to a database table. In another file display all articles from the table with ORDER BY id. To delete you simply make a delete script. Do I have to use any other languages like xml or something? Thanks!
The question: Can I make a simple cms by just using PHP and HTML?
No, you don't need other languages.
PHP and MySQL should be sufficient.
Well, the way the articles are displayed depends of HTML, CSS or JS codes you use.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking exactly. But you could easily write something like that in just PHP and HTML, and use a database to store the information.

I know CSS and HTML to a reasonable degree, but I've never built a multi-page website before.
I have a header area of my site coded, and want it to display it across multiple webpages. How can I do this?
Save it as header.php/header.html whichever one you need. Then, from every file you code from then on, you can <?php include('header.php');?>. The files you include in HAVE to be .php or it wont work.
Same applies to jsp if for any reason php didnt work or you fancied a change of pace
Create a file called header.jsp then use the tag below when you want to include it on a page.
<jsp:include page="{header.jsp}"/>
This is maybe of no use to you but who knows it may help someone. Some people find this easier and some find this harder it depends on your programming background.
Use a web programming language (PHP / ASP.Net / Whatever you like) to include the navigation bar in all the pages. There are template languages like Twig that can do that for you in a smarter way and provide you with additional template features, if you might need them.
