PHP Generated Pages & Search Engines

I'm trying to get a basic idea of how well PHP generated pages can be spidered by search engines? I'm working for a company that keeps two versions of it's site at the moment. One copy run off of a database using CGI, and one copy entirely in HTML so search engines will find them. I've told them that this is just a bad idea, and far too time consuming. I'm under the impression that PHP pages can be found by search engines, am I wrong? I'm going to be running almost their entire database of products off of one file, will the search engines be able to find these if there aren't direct links to them?

Any other suggestions as to how to keep their positions in the search engines (very good right now) would be appreciated as well.

Than post in different forums. Your post in the PHP forum is the same as this post in the lounge. Problem is your thread only pertains to one thing - The combination of PHP and Search Engines <- Which has been discussed many many times in the PHP forum. Do a search in the PHP forum and you will get all the information you need about your question......
