You mean you want to make, say index.html, into index.php? If so, here's a very simple example.

Slice the image and make the HTML page as usual. Afterwards, when the HTML page looks the way you want, encapsulate the HTML page in PHP as shown below, save as index.php, FTP, and then call index.php from your browser.

<?php

echo <<<END
<html>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</html>
END;

?>

Of course, TMTOWTDI. ;)

Okay, to make an HTML page, just look how it's done by right clicking on a webpage, and then choose to view the source.

Problem is unless you are just going to install a free or purchased script, without knowing at least HTML you would be better off getting someone to do it for you.

I would say get yourself a WYSIWYG HTML editor, like Frontpage or a more advanced one like Dreamweaver. Basically what these do is you create your site much as you would in say MSWord and it creates the HTML code one the fly for you.
