Anyhow, I do have to agree with most of what JAM said. I have tons of rough paper (ahem, recycle your paper too) lying around with <?php on them. I don't really recommend making a powerpoint presentation just for a rough code (so sue me, i can't spell psudeo). So rough paper is your friend!
the other thing i would recommend is break the project down to parts and re-ask yourself "can i do it?". well, sometimes you wouldn't want to be stuck and have to pause your project just for something in the middle of it all.
lastly, use variables! i don't mean using as you normally would - i mean use them more so you don't have to change everyline in everyfile when making a change. say include a header and footer for example. have their name and paths in a config file and include them as include $header_file, rather than having include('header.file') directly.
hope it helps,
