Well, php functions basically means that you can have different files in a seperate page, ie: This is essential (and amazing) for sites that have alot of pages and would take ages to edit seperately, but with includes, you would only have to edit two pages (header/footer) and your news.php (or any .php you had in the middle) could just contain whatever text you wanted to be in there. The only time you'd ever have to edit it, is to just change the content in it, not the coding, etc.

CODE

<?php
include("header.php");
?>

<?php
include("news.php");
?>

<?php
include("footer.php");
?>

Your header.php would be obviously, the head of your page, which might include stylesheet, and whatever html you have before your "news.php" page. Footer.php would be any html/css/etc that would be under your "news.php."

news.php would, for example, be your blog that is posted by wordpress.
Essentially that would mean you could leave your template in plaintext, because your header would automatically override your news.php with the css found in the header.php.
