I too have struggled with the idea of databasing my site. And while I
haven't actually achieved it yet, I have followed up on peoples
recommendations on literature. Here's a couple resources you might want to
look at:
http://www.webmasterbase.com/printTemplate.php?aid=228
- A couple chapters of a decent book on building a CMS. I actually bought
the book. Pretty good starter tutorials.
You'll also want to become acquitted with a couple other sites with tons of
info on them. They include,
http://www.devshed.com/
http://www.phpbuilder.com/
And of course http://www.php.net and http://www.mysql.com/ will need to
become your best friends.
Two books I've purchased that have helped some are, "MySQL" by Paul Dubois
and "PHP and MySQL: Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.
These books do assume that you have some (read: a little) experience with
computers and the command line.

No idea. But when you find some, please share with all of us.

Did you look at Zope or OpenCMS? If you're going to be building something
from scratch, I doubt you'll be attaching modules onto it. What kind of
modules are you talking about?

No idea, sorry.
