A Php Menu-builder Tutorial

This Sidebar Menu-builder code and the php scripts are adapted from a Tutorial on the Xisto.com Forum titled :

The primary purpose for making this template available is to provide a learning experience, not to provide
coders with the end product. Admittedly, this Template is very basic and is not meant to be 'cut and pasted'
into a web site, but rather, to be used as a learning tool to provide you with the means to build your site using templating concepts which makes the maintenance of a site easier, and the presentation more consistent across pages. Some html/css knowledge would be required to make changes to the files, but very little.

Just a reminder to make any modifications on a 'copy' of the files so if you alter something critical to the
function of the code, you will have an un-modified version to resume your work from.

Happy coding.
