The trend of "stick everything into a database just because we can" is counterproductive. There are times when storing files in a database is the right solution, but this certainly isn't one of them. I think this entire incident is a great example of using the wrong tool for the job. The OP is using PHP simply to include a few pages together. SSI would be faster, more secure and have a clean URL structure that is indexable by more search engines. It also has the advantage that the page layout is not determined by the linking URL (which is quite silly). In general, think simple. In most cases, you don't get a better solution than the simplest solution unless you go with a really complicated solution. And in almost all cases the complicated solution is not worth it.
