PHP includes and SEO

will they been seen?

[buksida]

I want to use PHP includes for the menus and header on my next site, something like this:

<?php
include ("menu.html");
?>

in the main pages with the menu and headers on a separate files for ease of editing. Just a bit concerned as to whether search engine bots and spiders will be able to index the links and see the content of the include okay.

Bots and spiders read your server's HTML-format output. They don't care and can't detect how you construct that output: you can include() and require() as many files as you like.
