Questions about crawlers, specifically Yahoo and Google.
Let's say I include all of my head, footer, menus, and all repeating parts of the front page in php includes, so my page will look something like this:
<html>
<?php
include ('./header.inc')
?>
<body>
<?php
include ('./menu.inc')
?>
text text text
<?php
include ('./footer.inc')
?>
Does that mean all the keywords will not be visible to the crawlers? Or do the crawl pages after they've been processed by the server?

Anyone that accesses your site (including search bots/crawlers) will see the HTML, and not the server-side scripting (this is the same for all server-side languages: PHP, ASP, CGI etc.).
