I have figured out one way to do it, which works with ANY
PHP page. Just load it into your browser, select the option
for viewing the source, and then save that as an index.htm or
index.html page, then have the web crawlers crawl that
instead of the php file. I have so far gotten this to work with
my phpBB and Wiki pages, then just change the redirects
on my domain to take users to the HTML-translated
version of the page. Then you can put in things like
Statcounter, or banner ads into WikiMedia, PhpBB,
VBulletin, or anything else. Now, you will need to have
the original php version, so that users can login. If the
index.php file has been erased or renamed, a user will
not be able to log on, but if anyone else asks about this,
that is how you do it. Log off and delete all cookies. Go
back to the main page, open the source in your browser,
and then save the HTML-translated page, then submit
the HTML version of hte page to Google and Yahoo
so that users get directed to that, instead of the PHP
version of the page.
