you can include stuff like JS in normal HTML, along with PHP

What? You can't make PHP calls from JS or HTML. In order for you to use PHP in a web page, you need to have the browser request another page from the web server. Which is just as fast as any networking DLL.

I can see why you might want to call JS functions from within a game. Nice suggestion.

games connected trough PHP and MySql databases

Eww, what's wrong with WebSocket?

Well, including that in the HTML source will be faster than downloading a new page each time you want to reatrieve a bit of data, right?

Yes. WebSockets are new to HTML5, and faster than AJAX and whatnot. The only problem is that you'd need a separate server, you might not be able to use your webserver for that, too.
