Does GoogleBot see PHP-Code?

If I dynamically construct a page with PHP-Code, does the GoogleBot see the code on the server, or does it only see the same as client-side?

Code: Select all

if ($site == 'hprp') { 
    echo "Example text1 - hprp"; 
}
if ($site == 'sunrise') { 
    echo "Example text2 - sunrise"; 
}
Will the Bot see only the text I want to display, or will it see both? (Example text1 - hprp or Example text2 - sunrise)

How does 'the Bot' get access to the script? I presume via a HTTP request (so he's a client). The client only sees the output of the script (if everything goes well :D).

Hi timvw

I have to confess, I have no idea how GoogleBot gets access to my pages (Dont know anything much about Bots, Spiders, Crawlers)

I am just curious about SE robots
