Thanks, Sorry if its not clear, but I am actually talking about all of those things.
PHP is my back end which is generating the static pages. GWT is what my site is coded in. Its completely dynamic and makes extensive use of "#" tokens to store and retrieve its states. I'm attempting to get my side Ajax crawl-able using this guide; http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html This guide states to replace the normal "#anything" style history tokens with "#!anything" tokens instead. Note the additional "!" When google's crawler is requesting these pages it swaps the "#!" for "?_escapedfragment_=", allowing the server to generate a static page using the query string. This is all laid out in googles guide. However, the formating of this "?_escapedfragment_=" does not allow php to process the key/value pairs in the query string as it normally could. PHP can normally read of key value pairs from the query string using its $_GET[] command. However, under this system "?_escapedfragment_=" in the url requested prevents the first key value pair being read. (as the parser now sees "_escapedfragment_" as its own key, and the first true key as its *value*). Thus, in order to use PHP with Google's system for making Ajax crawlable, I was querying if GWT user's should add "&" to their new history token format, rather then just "!". So the new tokens become "#!&" rather then just "#!". ---- This is a little confusing, but I think it should be understandable for anyone who knows both PHP as well as GWT. (or at least, has used extensive historytokens/states in their web design). Finally, I mentioned the Webmaster tools "Fetch as Googlebot" as thats what I'm using to test if my site is indeed browse-able by google's bot. Its not yet possible to use it to test completely for this sort of functionality, however. So some of this work is a little "blind".
