Googlebot can it read html or does it perfer php code? I really would
like someone from google to answer this question. I've had many sites,
one i just recently moved to my hosting services got place under php
code, (shameful i know) I've blocked the php code pages with
Robots.txt hoping GoogleBot would do what it says it does, in the
Webmasters Tools, Google blog, which is to read the domain url, and
follow the links to the other pages, for indexing, Yet it does not
seem to work this way, Googlebot has left, and my indexed pages i
guess went to Flordia for the summer, caues their not in the Google
index anymore..

Question : Will or "Can" GoogleBot index a PHP coded site if it can
only read the html pages and links with out reading tons of PHP
code ??????

Reason I did such was they were doing a terrible job of indexing the
site when they read all the php code. .
The site is a PR#3 and has many inner pages Ranked
This is one of the url's i blocked, http://mydomain.com/index.php?cPath=22_66
with dissalow /.php*
This is what they should read from the domain url for indexing-
http://www.mydomain.com/garden-decor-22/plaques-66/
But seem to be having trouble reading the domain URL and links without
the access to the trash PHP Code.
Yahoo is still here, MSN is still here, everyone but Google.
If any one knows of such an experience with Googlebot I would love to
hear it,
Thanks Vannessa , webmaster@etrone.com

I don't think that mydomain.com is your domain. I would suggest you
provide a URL, and if you must make such a reference, example.com is
there just for that purpose.

Now, Google is never going to see PHP code. The server reads the PHP
and spits out HTML to the UA, whether it be a browser, a phone,
refrigerator or a SE.

You might want to check the validity of the markup being produced, and
you might want to visit the site with a text only browser, or an aural
browser with your monitor turned off.

Neither your web browser nor Googlebot ever sees php code!
Your server interprets the php code and delivers html code to the web
browser or to googlebot.

If what you say was fact please explain why GoogleBot would complain
about me blocking the read of php coded files to cause this:

http://www.etrone.com/index.php?cPath=72         URL restricted by robots.txt Help

Considering this url exists nowhere, as a link or reference to anything
In fact this is the only reference to index in the code
<meta name="robots" content="all,index,follow">

Yet GoogleBot is complaining because they cannot access my PHP files....
