Do search engines assemble PHP pages with includes and index the result? Or do they see the 'fragments', the files used to build the client-side browser page? ie, if I place meta tags into a common header include file, via PHP variables in the including page, will they be seen by search engines as meta tags?

If the server is configured correctly, the server should parse the PHP files on each request, shouldn't matter if it's a search engine or a regular surfer. So you could put all your meta-information in your included header file. //Daniel
