Welcome to WebmasterWorld adamz,

php is a server side language so your browser is just fed html output from it. View source on the page and I would imagine it looks like straight html regardless of what the php is doing. Google has no problems with this at all.

google spiders .php extensions just like .htm, .html, .asp, .cfm, ... If you include certain elements of your page by e.g. "include "metatags.inc.php";", google cannot recognize this, because it will get the parsed result.

but if i hit view source it shows the meta tags...

[mifi601]

but it doesn't show you PHP, does it?

[jatar_k]

exactly, php is server side so as long as you conform to the proper format for meta tags it doesn't matter how they are created. Spiders never see the php just the html output.
