Doing that work just fine but you have to send the right heading.
My sites that do that have
header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");
as the first instruction and are very well indexed by Google

I find the google site is NOT very helpful for PHP guidelines, considering
my experiences.
I used the error_document 404 redirect trick to use short links and it took
some time to realise that Google boycotted that, probably because it gets a
404.
Also links with a long parameter string of (5 parameters, >30 characters)
were ignored. As far as I could see Google only indexed 1 index.php page.
So I had to overhaul the whole link logic of my cms. I now use mod_rewrite
too.
But I have seen sites with only an one parameter (?ID=11) being indexed.
Be aware that javascript links and form buttons are unlikely to be indexed.
