You can use only cookies and don't pass the sid in the url.
Or you can try to identify the spiders with the USER_AGENT and the IP of
the visitor. If is_a_spider then url_without_sid else url_with_sid.
I saw a php script that identify the spiders. I don't know if it updated or
not. I saw it in phpbuilder.com. If you are interested, I can find it.
In other hand, I rewrite freetrade to make the urls search engine friendly.
The web isn't online yet but this is the code:
EXAMPLE URL:
http://www.domain.com/index.html/SCREEN/categoria/categoria/7.html
$SCREEN = 'categoria';
$categoria = '7';
FILE: index.html (index.php before)
if (isset($REQUEST_URI))
{
// quit the '.html' string at the end of the url
$varURL = substr($REQUEST_URI, 0, -5);
$vardata = explode("/", $varURL);
$num_param = count($vardata) - 1;
// add a new register in the array if it is pair
// the array CAN'T BE pair
if ($num_param % 2 == 0)
{
$vardata[] = '';
$num_param++;
}
// create the vars
for ($i=2; $i<$num_param; $i+=2)
{
$$vardata[$i] = $vardata[$i+1];
}
}
FUNCTION: ScreenURL()
function ScreenURL($screen, $secure=FALSE, $extra='')
{
global $PHPSESSID;
global $UserInfo;
if (USE_SSL AND $secure)
{
$URL = "https://";;
}
else
{
$URL = "http://";;
}
$URL .= SERVER_NAME . EXTERNAL_PATH . SCRIPT_NAME .
"/SCREEN/$screen";
// $URL .= "/PHPSESSID/$PHPSESSID";
if (is_array($extra))
{
for (reset($extra); $key=key($extra); next($extra))
{
$URL .= "/$key/" . prepareText($extra[$key]);
}
}
return $URL . ".html";
}
CHANGES IN THE CONF OF THE VIRTUALHOST
<Virtualhost yourdomain.com>
...
...
...
<Location /index.html>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
It is, basically, the changes that I do. It run ok for me.
I can't try if it is "indexable" or not by the search engines.
