Alas no, it will only work as long as you do not pass parameters If you start passing parameters many search engines will decide to ignore it (characters like ?, &, =) unless you configure your system to allow things like http://myserver/some/path/here/index.html/variable1/variable2 Now i have done this with cgi scripts, using scriptalias, but I have not tried it with php. Not sure how you can do it without having too much of a performance hit for every other page. But I guess you'd have to be real careful in your use of that, to prevent spiders from running in circles in your database links, for example. This means a careful coding of robots.txt, and maybe using form buttons for links you only want a human to follow etc. Joelle Nebbe _______________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed in the email are those of the individual and not necessarily the company.
