PHP and Search engine placement

I'm building a site where it would be useful (from a maintenance point of view) to have a script that will build the navigation and various other bits, for each page in the site, on the fly. Will using PHP to do this create any problems with search engines not indexing the content? None of the URLs contain any &s, =s or ?s and none of the content is stored in a database.

I guess what I'm asking is: Do search engines have problems indexing stuff that's echoed rather than being "real" static HTML.

Any advice would be appreciated.

search engines can't tell a difference. They only see the end result, just like your browser.
