Jim,

Keep looking for the answer on this one -- I can not find the source, but I 
know I've heard some engines will stop when they hit that first question mark.

On a positive note, there are /supposed/ to be php scripts out there that 
will alias the url so that it will be spidered.

I'm really new to php, so I'm just going on what I've heard. Raj, have you 
tried over on the languages list? Or, perhaps on the php news list (yeah, 
it's a heavy list).

Just a thought anyway,
Tamara
