Database driven site design

[Marc Davis]

We are actively working on transitioning our web site from static HTML
pages to database generated pages.  We'll be using the MySQL/PHP
combination.  My question concerns designing a web site based on databases
as opposed to static pages.

I'm having difficulty finding resources that discuss basic design
considerations, structuring navigation, etc., in the context of database
generation.  How -- if at all -- does it differ from conventional
best-practice site design?  Are there important considerations regarding
the structure of databases to be used on websites (as opposed to other
uses)?  Anyone have any useful advice/experiences/comments?

I'd be particularly interested in web sites, books, articles, etc.,
discussing this.

TIA . . .
