Building a website using PHP Includes

This is pretty basic stuff but for those who are not familiar with PHP includes and are finding it hard to start using PHP to build a website, this might help you on your way. I have had a few requests to write a simple tutorial on how to build a website using PHP includes. This is written for Jim (no surname mentioned!) as he wanted to know the easiest way to build a website, maintain it and still have individual pages for good search engines ranking positions.
