    Search engines don't normally reach anything on a query string (whatever's
after a ? ).  So, if you're passing variables from one page to another, you
can use a spider-friendly method by changing your URL from something like
http://host/script?var1=1&var2=2 to something like http://host/script/1/2.
Then you can extract the variables through the $PATH_INFO variable.

    This was discussed a while back when I posted this same question.  Look
through the archives and search for subject topic "Submitting variables via
/'s"...
