For starters, I'd suggest getting to know the include() function - it's 
a _huge_ step towards scalability.

The minimum source for some of my sites, for example, would consist of:

<?php include("header.php");?>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
<?php include("footer.php");?>

In the above, header.php would include all code up until the start of 
the main content area, and footer.php would continue from the end of the 
content area until the closing </html>.
