With php you can make it easier to add content in the future by using MySql and Php to display data from a database. But for a site with few pages it is not smart to use php unless you have a user interface to add data or contact you.

Well php can store and read from a database witch makes it easy to add content using on php file you could have hundreds of pages of content.

You might want to look into PHP or Server Side Includes.

You can use PHP includes to make editing your content and templates easier, or if you need something a little more advanced you can look in to a content management system. There are hundreds out there so you'd need to do a fair amount of research to decide which one suits your needs - it depends on the type of website you are running.
