Do any search engines index .php files?

Search engines are not worried about the file extension when indexing
pages, so they will index .php files just the same as .html or .anything
extensions.
Although it's not a problem anymore, a few search engines aren't too
keen on QUERY_STRING's (stuff after the ? in the URL).  If so, they may
ignore links like this:
    http://www.server.com/index.php?var1=value1
You can avoid that problem by using URLs of the form:
    http://www.server.com/index.php/value1
Which is explained here:
