ok so you have a basic understanding of php
to create something like what you see in phpbb you could use smarty
http://www.smarty.net/
read along there and you will understand how it works

Ah, W3Schools is such a great resource isn't it! I'm glad you check it for help.
Regarding tpl files, Ancyent is correct. They are mostly associated with Smarty. However, if I may throw in a suggestion: Don't bother with Smarty unless you really don't want to learn PHP. If you are interested in diving into programming, learn by example. Search around for scripts that others have made and try to mimic their results without coping-and-pasting. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you can move on to OOP, which may be confusing to some, but pays off in the long run. With all of your newfound knowledge, you'll be able to use a MVC framework such as CodeIgniter or CakePHP. They provide a power way to organize and control your content and application, including views (the equivalent of templates).
MVC's and frameworks are becoming more popular with developers and are a great time-saver and organizer when you become familiar with PHP.
Good Luck!
