Hello, 
        How do search engines react to PHP pages?  If every page of a
site has a .php extension will search engines not react well to that? If it does, is there a possible way to handle tracking sessions with php, without being punished by the search engines?
it's not that they ignore .php pages, more that they do not see a difference between domain.org/index.php?page=1 domain.org/index.php?page=123 domain.org/index.php?page=129909 domain.org/index.php?module=board&ID=445 so only the 1st page will be indexed. A common workaround involves the use of Apaches' mod_rewrite, or an error_document trick so the links are: domain.org/page/1 and domain.org/page/129909 search engines have no problem to see these as different.
