Getting Search Engines to Recognize .PHP

Anon

HEEELLLPPPP!!!
I have a difficult senario, I've read about .htaccess and am starting to get it, but I don't think I can fix my problem in this fasion. You see, I am "renovating" and old site with hundreds of static pages. I've created a dynamic Database-Driven setup, but the static pages are still needed if the user wants "more techincal info." My problem is that these static pages are already heavily seeded into all major search engines and I need a way to have them redirect to my index.php page without redirecting when I call them up in _blank windows for "more techinical information" If someone would take pity on me, please take a quick look at http://www.scalenet.com/list.php3 and select any item, on the next screen click on "more technical info" and you'll see what I mean. If I am unable to do this, could someone please tell me a good BEGGINERS article on doing search engines on dynamic pages in the future, thank you so much

well, you can start from this following article:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000526.php3

it provides a solution for the dynamic pages to be indexed in search engines.

good luck

what you can do is configure your apache to parse .html files so these files get parsed for php then make an include file to include at the top of each of these pages. this file woudl contain thefollowing:

note: there's a special variable containing the referring webpage.. if memory serves, it's $HTTP_REFERER, but I'm not sure.

in pseudo code:

if ($HTTP_REFERER is from this webserver) {
show them the page in this file(do nothing)
} else {
header("Location: http://dfd.df.ff"); // redirect them iftheyre from another site such as a search engine
}
