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'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 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 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 am trying to create a site with a tiny CMS, the problem is that there is only php installed on the server.
The site will mainly consit of two pages the user page and admin page. On the user page there is to be a bunch of checkboxes which when checked will do some math(not the problem I need solved). On the admin page you need to be able to add the checkboxes and assing them their values.
My approach was to read and write to a XML file that contains the data instead of a database. I have run into a lot of problems trying to accomplish this, and I am looking for some good ideas for how it can be done, or alternatives.
Thanks in advance.
You can use sqlite as database engine. This way you also create a portable version of your application and by using PDO you could always switch to another database engine later on.

I want to create 200+ pages with products.
I have 5 categories.
I made a prototype .php file that it will include everytime the correct product1.php or product2.php each time (with GET).
Moreover I want to have each time different meta-tags. So prototype.php will include and the metatags.
I want advise b/c I dont know if my thinking is correct (To create 200 products php files that they will contains images, pagagraphs etc and 200 metatags php files that they will contain every product metatags with descriptions / keywords etc )
I have been confused b/c I think if I will try to create a database it will more easier.
But I want to know If I choose the msql solution will be faster or slower than the solution that I wrote before.
If you want any details or I miss something please tell me!
A database is absolutely the way to go with this. No question.
I recommend looking into MySQL, and learning the PDO method of using it.
