Robot and crawlers ??? PHP query

It might only be a very simple question.

But do robots, crawlers and search engines (google etc), look into php
generated pages ??

TIA

If they did not, you would not find my website www.eigelb.at in Google.

Some do, some don't. There are many different things you can do, for
example, at http://tzxfs.dnsalias.com/~nosanity/engines.phtml, what we
do here in engines.phtml is:

<?
$cid = 1;
include('index.phtml');
?>

This way, it's just like hitting
http://tzxfs.dnsalias.com/~nosanity/index.phtml?cid=1, but it's more
search engine friendly.

Check out http://www.seochat.com/ for more discussion on Search Engine
Optimization; I'm sure they could define what different search engines
look for when indexing websites.

as already stated some do and some dont, google is 1 of the ones that do,
but they will only index so many of your pages in case it gets caught in an
endless loop

They never see PHP code, as you probably figured out. Most of them just
follow links.

Yes, but you have to be careful not to use sessions, because most robots
will ignore pages that use sessions.
