Well I had posted about this about a week ago and I decided to go ahead and get a plan going...

The site is www.airandaqua.com which redirects you to airandaqua.com/sunshop/index.php

You see my shopping cart is PHP and all the rest of the content pages I make I do in HTML (using SSI for header and footer), my goal is to keep the customer inside the shopping cart at all times, or at least be able to display the "cart contents" (upper right) in my HTML pages, or else if I knew how to create new content pages such as this one - http://www.airandaqua.com/penn_and_t...ed_water.shtml in PHP then I would be able to keep this cart...

I am trying to figure out the best way to create the site CLEAN using templates and CSS and that when I make a change to one file, such as the header, it will be GLOBAL across the entire site! Right now I have to create the header for my HTML pages and then a seperate code for the shopping cart in PHP (images have to be pulled in PHP for the cart to be secure...)

What can I do? I see sites using ASPX but I know nothing about that...

I was thinking, is there a way that I can pull information from a database and have it be displayed through HTML? I don't want to use Iframes or anything for SEO purposes... any ideas?

Yes, but you have to use a server-side language. Since you are already using PHP for some parts of the site, you might as well use PHP to grab the data from the database and form the HTML. You can use a templating system such as Smarty (or make your own) to output your HTML through PHP. Smarty allows you to create one template (one file) for the header (or any other part of the page), and include it in other templates.
