do I need php in my header, sidebar, main, and footer?
Yes. The sidebar content normally generated dynamically. The main content templates need to the use Loop to generate your post/page displays and the footer contains hooks that are needed by some plugins.
Does the index direct the content from the database?
All of a theme’s templates pull content from the database.
In the past I have used iframes to do this will it work the same way?
Unnecessary. WordPress handles most of this automatically via various template file and tags. See Theme_Development for an overview.
I understand the premise of calling content to screen/page but does it work the same? Mainly flash and html/css coding.
CSS, and XHTML mainly.
