    Hello

    I am just finishing an SEO job for one of our main clients.

    I instructed our designer to use basic html for all the important pages I have optimised for, the core and long tail phrases.

    He has just shown me the finished site, all the pages are php even the ones I specifically asked to be HTML.

    Q: does Google and the like index and rank php pages the same as HTML or will I have to get the designer to redo the main pages as basic HTML?

    Everyone's thoughts, opinions, and experiences are much appreciated.

    Best regards

    Luke

    just remember that PHP pages can be static too if that helps in your SEO plan

    I'll echo the rest here: PHP is not a problem. If you had original pages in HTML though and these were replaced by PHP pages, you would have to do 301-redirects for each of those.

    Would the PHP code still work?
