creating product specific sideboxes

[whiteboxer]

I want to have sideboxes that contain info based on the product category that users select. For example, the sidebox would contain background info or FAQs regarding that specific category. What's the best way to create these?

1. Create the database infrastructure to store the information, linked to relevant categories
2. Create an admin interface for entering/editing the database information
3. Create the sidebox module to retrieve the relevant information, and set it up to display in the desired spot on the page, only when relevant info is available.

Makes sense. Problem is I really don't know much about PHP to know how to do that. Can you point me to a resource that would help?

is there a way to add a sidebox to only a certain page like only to a certain companies category?

Thanks to who can help me!
