title: Populate an unordered list from a list of PHP files
body: <h2>The Situation:</h2>
  
  <p>I have a Projects page with a content area and a sidebar. I want the sidebar to contain a dynamic list of projects. The content area has an div with the id "post". </p>
  
  <p>I have a subfolder containing .php files corresponding to projects that contain html content about each project. </p>
  
  <h2>The Challenge:</h2>
  
  <p>I would like the sidebar to generate an unordered list based on the filenames of the php files (or if possible, an h1 element inside each php file). </p>
  
  <p>When clicked, I would like each of the items in this unordered list to populate the div id "post" in the content area with the contents of the php file to which it corresponds. </p>
  
  <h2>Is this possible?</h2>
  
  <p>I know it would be easier with a CMS like Wordpress, but I want to know how to do it without an SQL database if possible. Keep in mind, I know almost nothing about PHP. I have stuck to html/css so far.</p>
