Not at all unusual. Serve the pages as php (or .phtml, whatever
you tell your servers re: file extensions and mime type).
Then get acquainted with includes or require:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php
The server will "include" or "require" (big difference, one can be
conditional, one can not be looped etc) the relevant link/action on
presentation.
We use includes for repeated navigational elements, form insertion, option
lists, etc. Same can be true of executables within php.
