If you just want a section of your site to change, use an include, which can be very useful, such as using a single template page and sending a variable name that designates an include file name - here's a page that describes includes in php:
http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/include_files.htm
- but if you need to order your data, you may want to use a database.
You can use a "Flat File" database for a php site, which is a database in a text file.
One example here, you can Google for more examples:

Hope it helps!
