Can SE crawl links which is called with php include?

Here's the situation. i used <?php include ("footer.html"); ?> to place
the footer in my webpages. And the question is, can search engines crawl
the links contain in the footer.html file

Thanks!

 

yes it will.
when the file is called into the php file it will display the main php page as a whole including the footer and all other included pages within that main page called.

 

ya sure .. it's fine

if not than you wouldn't have seen pages like xyz.php?id=342 on search engines

 

No spider can detect that you use PHP include functions or not. Spiders will see the same HTML source code of the page as you can see with your browser.

it will not crawl the page footer.html it will crawl the page containing that footer.html .

php is server side , search engine dont even know what kind of includes you inserted all what they know is that you have a page .

so if u have a page index.php that contain :

<?php include ("header.html"); ?>
<?php include ("content.html"); ?>
<?php include ("footer.html"); ?>

SE will only see the index.php (the content of the 3 files)

 

well actuallly ya, after using include your content of footer.html will be considered as of index.html(which is including) but still ur content will be get crawled

 

Thanks for the reply. This question has been bugging me for some time now. Atleast now i know i can use php include to easily update my site. Thanks again!
