What I would like to do, using php in order to save myself the trouble of cluttering my html with menu code on every single page on the site, is make it so that when someone clicks on a link in the menubar, the links listed in the sidebar change according to what was clicked. For example, if someone were to click on "About" in the menubar, the sidebar would display different "About"-related hyperlinks ("About Us", "Management", "Our Staff", "Job Opportunities," etc.) and then, if the user then selects "Products and Services" from the top menu, the side menu would change with a list of new links related to that one.

Other people have suggested using AJAX.
Alternatively, you could include all the
options as HTML in your sidebar, but then
make all but one of them invisible using
the CSS {display: none;}. Then, when the
user clicks on a link in the menubar, use
JavaScript to change what HTML is made
visible in the sidebar.
Whichever way you do this, PHP will not do
it. PHP just generates HTML (perhaps in
response to a JavaScript AJAX request).
This is therefore the wrong newsgroup.
