Can I convert an HTML website to PHP and make it dynamic?

Hi!

Thanks for the reply. I'm what you'd call a beginner in web development and the project deadline is tomorrow so I'm kind of dead. All the webpages i.e. index and products have to be in PHP. The product images and descriptions should be in a mySQL database and the database would be linked using Javascript. I know all of this. But the problem is that I can't do all of this. My best shot would be to follow a tutorial I found but it's a static website without a database and it's in HTML. Would it be okay if I follow the tutorial stip by step and make a static website? Would I later be able to convert that website to PHP and link a database? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, I'm just a beginner. I'm so dead :')

Anyways, Thanks!
