    SE question

    ok all you search engine gurus, I've got a question.

    If I have a site that is built using PHP that generates pages by getting text from a MySQL database, do search engines see this as a regular HTML page?
    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

          Nice. I thought so. Although I've read it is bad to have URLs with any "?" or "&" in them, but that is ok, I don't need to have that.

              No problem with Google or Yahoo with "?" or "&" in the urls as far as i am aware.

                          They will probably see some of it.. but the best way to make sure that you can actually be fully seen by the engines is to perform a mod rewrite and this will then present your php generated pages as html pages to the engines.

                          It does take a lot of work, but it's worth it.

                                  Get some server guy to make .html/htm be treated (by your server) as .php.

                                  That'll work

                                      It's just me.. but I still prefer cgi on pages and delivery to browsers/robots "clean" and without any ? and & stuff....

                                      Tho php like most stuff.. has a place - depending :-)

                                          Yup, mod_rewrite is a good thing.. you can also easily get rid of the ? by making the path like search.php/search-terms and then exploding it
                                          But as was mentioned, major search engines will parse the & and ?'s
