PHP is a scripting language. I know little about such things, but I believe it would be used on a web server to, for example, read a PVD database directly and generate web pages dynamically. I don't know what you mean or hope to achieve by changing the 'format' from HTML to PHP.

I suppose you mean that you wanna build a website using PHP and  mysql Database.
I assume that you already have web space available.
You can easily do that using the template below:

Here is my site using a slightly modified template : http://ekoliniol.com/digitalmovies/ (http://ekoliniol.com/digitalmovies/)

Basically...the search engine I was working with on my site only recognized PHP files. But I was able to find a program that did batch file extension changing. So I exported the normal way to html and then ran the html files through the program and it changed them to php. And I just changed a piece of coding in the Webpages(IndexMovies) where the code says "<a href="movie{%value=mid}.html"...I changed it to "<a href="http://mysiteaddress/movie{%value=mid}.php". So it has worked out...
