Please discuss.

HTML is static, PHP is dynamic. PHP allows you to use a database as well as programming in things that will change the page depending on what the user does.
HTML with Javascript can do some dynamic things but is not secure anyone can change the code so it is not good for e commerce or database activities.
An html page has a different extension than a PHP page. so it is considered a different page. If you replace page1.htm with page1.php you will lose the
PR and all
SEO that you did on the html page. You can use htaccess to get around this though.
I probably created more questions for you than I answered but this is a start.
