I don't understand what this is supposed to mean... if you have a form,
you by necessity need to 'do something' with the form, so I don't see
what 'self-submitting' has to do with anything, really. PHP won't
automatically give you anything in terms of navigation that hard-coded
HTML won't; you'd need to code something. And for a simple application,
SSI would probably be an easier option.
Beyond that, though, I'm with you. PHP (or really any other server-side
technology) is pretty powerful and can make life easier for people.
