[PHP] How does google index PHP + MySQL (PostgreesSQL) websites?

2004-12-14 Thread symbulos partners
Dear friends,

does anybody know how does google (and other search engines) index websites
implemented in PHP + MySQL? For instance, sites which use PHP based CMS
(Content Management Systems)?

Someone told us google spiders do call for the pages so they only see the
resulting HTML code. Is that right?

Do other search engine use different methodologies?

It doesn't. It indexes the HTML that they output. As far as Google is
concerned you could have a thousand trained monkies typing like mad
for your CMS, it still only cares about the output - the HTML.

See, you knew this anyway ;)

Thankfully not - if they could it would mean they could see into our
PHP code and MySQL databases.

Think about that for a second.

Best regards,
