same here, google has been indexing my php site for over 3 years now :)I find the google site is NOT very helpful for PHP guidelines, considering my experiences. I used the error_document 404 redirect trick to use short links and it took some time to realise that Google boycotted that, probably because it gets a 404. Also links with a long parameter string of (5 parameters, >30 characters) were ignored. As far as I could see Google only indexed 1 index.php page. So I had to overhaul the whole link logic of my cms. I now use mod_rewrite too. But I have seen sites with only an one parameter (?ID=11) being indexed. Be aware that javascript links and form buttons are unlikely to be indexed. Chris
