kaliok Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have read several articles/blogs/forums/etc on this subject, and the consensus seems to be that of late, Google (and other perhaps) is comfortable (up to a point) with using dynamically generated pages with a low amount of &'s and ?'s in the url. I haven't been able to find much on the subject when it comes to using $POST instead of a $GET. I am currently writing a website that uses one php page which loads multiple buttons with links to the same page. When the button is pressed it reloads the page but sends the name of the dynamic page through to itself via a form and javascript (i.e home, about, contact us... and other more content rich database driven data pages). The php at the top of the page pulls the single word from the $POST data and reloads the appropriate page. Will search engine spiders be able to see and crawl the page in all its dynamic forms?

trq Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Im no expert here (at all), but search engines cache urls. Post data does not show up in a url.

Asheeown Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 You can use hidden fields to have form information, store them then on the next page, well really in your case when you reload the page and checks if something is set then you can calls those form values with $_POST Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33688-dynamically-generated-pages-and-search-engines/#findComment-157903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaliok Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thats exactly what I am doing Fearsoldier. I guess I will rewrite the page so it sends through the word (page name) as a $GET, as thorpe makes a very good point.

SharkBait Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Don't put in too many arguments into the URL, its not SEO friendly ;) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33688-dynamically-generated-pages-and-search-engines/#findComment-157998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
