Hi I'm just beginning to learn PHP.

Is PHP SEO friendly? Can pages written in PHP show up in the search results the same way as pages that are written in html?

PHP outputs HTML, which is what the spiders and humans see.

It doesn't make a diffence, where you may run into trouble is duplicate content when pulling data from a database and long query strings, i.e script.php?id=1&where=recent maybe the exact same page as script.php?id=1 hence duplicate pages if you are linking to both. But that can happen in any language.

yes, absolutely

the behind the scenes technology doesn't make any difference. After all, you can have html extensions and still be running php.
