You might want to start by looking (download, instal, try) at available
content managers like
PHPWebSite http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/
PHPNuke http://phpnuke.org/
They do exactly that; seperate content from programming logic. As an
admin you can assign certain users as beining authors. Authors can
upload contents to the web-server without every having to know anything
about PHP, webservers or databases. As an admin you can change the look
and feel of the webpage without having to know much about PHP. It's
designing a new 'skin' rather than desiging a complete new PHP project.
It might very well be that these content managers do not fit your needs,
but if you start from scratch they are certainly worth looking into
before you take off on a large PHP project.
good luck
