Keep Google search hits despite PHP??

[Van Johnson]

While in the process of reorganizing my company's website and I created a
database of all their publications. I replaced their old html publications
page with a php page that repopulates the publications list every time
somebody browses by. This way it updates as the SQL dbase gets more
publications.

Problem is, this will prevent the search engine bots from detecting the
publications, will it not? How do I keep google and others aware of the
documents on the publications page?

No, that's a Google myth. Google indexes dynamic pages too, even when
the URL has ? .

That site is very accurate and consistent with what Google says in the
page you mentioned. I think you are not interpreting Google's words
correctly.

Dear Van,
If you like I can teach you how to get all your pages indexed whether
dynamic (PHP) or html.
