I'm a PHP newbie, and after testing the few things about which I learnt, on my website host (still trying to figure how to do it on MY computer), I noticed that PHP does everything I heard Server Side Includes or SSI technology does. So why would I even care to know more about SSI if there's PHP and I can use PHP, for instance?
Why SSI when there's PHP?
You may find SSI to be slightly faster and less load on the server - but it is an old technology now, and largely superceded by languages such as PHP. SSI may be enough for a very simple site, but if you're starting out now, better to go for PHP from the outset.
