Not if you don't use an autonumber field. A number is just as static as
a string. There are advantages of using a string but "staticness" is
not one of them.

Why are you using pagepainter.php? What does this script do? I'll ask
again, what is wrong with this:

/pages/manual/chapter1/engine_repair/carburetor.php

?

Another words, why are you passing the path as a parameter instead of
allowing the visitor to navigate to the URL directly? The URL being
passed as a parameter has nothing to do with putting an interactive
comments section at the bottom of the page.

Also, I wouldn't worry about search engines indexing a dynamic site.
Google does it and within the next 18 months they will go from 48% of
the search market to almost 80%. They are the only engine that really
matters anymore. Search engines that refuse to index dynamic pages are
just digging themselves a grave. Let them; they are better off dead.
