Search Engine friendly - NOT

[trooper]

OK here goes.

I'm developing a site and it is sat on top of a mysql database.

My dev platform is WIN 2k with apache as a module (which i have FULL control over)whilst the live site is Linux with apache (which - have minimal control over).

I have read tim's articles on creating search engine friendly site but i cannot get the system to work on the even site.

Essentially the site is actually 1 page and depending on what has been passed to it depends on what is shown.

Can i get some help with stripping out the "?" and "&" from the url and creating a search engine friendly site.

The solution will need to work for both platforms. (I am aware there will need to be slight differences between the two platforms)

If you want to have a look at the site to see what i mean then the address is

A friend of mine once designed his site to display entirely different pages based on the HTTP_USER_AGENT field. A little snippet of code included in almost every PHP starter's manual ("Welcome: you're using Internet Explorer!", jeeze) grossly misused will get you what you're looking for.

Hit the big browsers: IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Galleon, etc.. and if the useragent doesn't match up, display a static page with the content that you want indexed, or include() an html file. You'll probably have to do a couple of regexes on the agent string, but it should work.
