What you're asking has nothing to do PHP. It's all UI and client side. That's all relative to: * who are the visitors * amount of information to be display * type of application such as functions and features * tools in your belt, ie: ajax, flash, etc... to name a few and not necessarily in that order. > What is a good way to glue everthing together between login and logout. > I know cookies and sessions and I suspect those were a way to do it. > How would I integrate a template system like smarty? > It weren't bad if there were clues about AJAX, too. > > I'm in search of a way to extend the knowledge about bricks, tubes and > cables to the wisdom to actually build a house out of those things. > More importantly, shouldn't you need to find out the properties of each materials prior to building a house as it will affect the design and structural integrity? How strong is the brick? What kind of tubes? Can they be easily bended? What about prone to rust or chemical reactions with long term exposure to chlorinated water? What cables are needed for each purpose and is the proper gauge of the cable being used? Insufficient gauge will lead to fire. After you have a firm understanding of the materials/technologies/skills involved, then Google programming design patterns...
