PHP and spiders

[Anon]

Hello All,
I had a question regarding PHP and search engine spiders.
I've finally PHP'ed out a bunch of my pages so the actual code is all the same, it just uses the file name to set proper variables.

Now what I'd like to do is simply have all my pages just be bunch php includes so that all I need to do is edit a few files in order to change every page on my site.

Now my question is, when search engine spiders (particularily google because that's where I get most of my hits from) goes through and spiders pages, would it just grab the raw text in the file, or does the file go through the PHP processor before it is spidered?

Thanks a bunch!
-Kevin

The search engines will not see your code. The pages are parsed out, php code is executed, then the html is served.
