I'm working on having the articles on our website be pulled from a database using PHP and MySQL instead of having a million html files to track. The question arises how does google index articles when they are being pulled from a database? How can those pages be indexed with Google?
A typical article would be called like this:
http://someaddress/article.php?article=someinteger
Does anyone know?
Thanks

afaik Google only lists the files themselves. This means in this case article.php would be listed but no articles. Therefore you have to use some Apache extensions to present article.php?num=001 as 001.htm to the viewer.
I've never done that myself but it is discussed nearly a 1000 times on every forum......
good luck
