Aside from the fact that, yes, much of what you're asking for has to do
with the user interface and not PHP, there is no ONE way to build a PHP
app. PHP is flexible enough to allow you to do it any of a number of
ways.

Take a look @ http://codekata.pragprog.com/ -- they have a whole set of
"kata" for practice in programming.

Last time I used Dreamweaver, it seemed to be able to manage this, at
least partially...
This is akin to refactoring, but I don't know of any apps that do that
very well for PHP/HTML/CSS/JS/...

Check out PhpStorm from JetBrains. I know it handles rename-refactors of PHP
files, functions, and classes, and I'm nearly positive it does the same
HTML/CSS/JS files, as well. Ad it's a darn good IDE, to boot.

How you store things in tables can sometimes get a little tricky. One
way to approach this is with normalized tables and using joins in your
query like you are doing. To make this work, in your main entries table,
have a field that indicates what the entry type is. If you are doing one
select that gets both articles and news stories, having that extra field
can help you distinguish what type it is, and which fields contain data
in each record.
(cf: Wordpress wp_posts table for an example of how this is done. They
store posts, pages, and attachments in a single table this way. I can't
say if this is a better arrangement than keeping them in separate
tables.)

I've had to hack this table. It's a prime example of bad design. Take a
long look at the records of this table in an active blog, with a survey
of each of the fields and their values. You'll see what I mean.

Hello All,
I am looking to develop an online survey for a non-profit. The user should be
able to complete the survey and see the results in the form of a visualization
(i.e. pie chart) upon completion. I found this tool
(http://www.iscripts.com/survey/) but not sure how good it is. Does anyone
have any suggestions for PHP based online survey tools? Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Best,
Christopher

I dunno, it's free, why not just snag it and play with it? From a quick
run through the demo, it looks to be pretty flexible and feature laden.
