[tiendung619299]

php Code:

if($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] != 'Googlebot'){
� � session_start();
� � }

Would this do the trick ?

I don't do any sites that do sessions with php, but I'd assume you have to use a regular expression instead of just 'GoogleBot' because they have different version numbers and the "new" one right?



something like !~ /googlebot/i



Just an idea.

I think preg_match is what you would use in php, (I'm a perl coder not php)



edit: try this?

Code:

if(preg_match("/googlebot/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) != 1){

    session_start();

    }

1. indexOf(GOOGLEBOT_AGENT_STRING) > -1) { isGoogleBot = true; } } } if (isGoogleBot) { // wrap response to remove URL encoding HttpServletResponseWrapper
2. To remove a url, you need to make the page return a 404 error for that session id url
3. Tipically when the bot takes too much bandwith is that it got stuck on a script such as OsCommerce or a like that has sessions
4. One note on removing login, this may or may not be known but qwikioffice does allow for a user to a member of several groups
5. You may need to remove the session IDs and other variables in your site's URLs

Ok, I will check the user agent string with regular expressions then ... thanks.

8. We had used a tracking similar to a session ID and tried to get different files in different parts of the site indexed and ranked with different IDs

strpos or strstr would be a lot faster than preg_match:

Code:

if( strpos( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Googlebot" ) !== false ) {

  // we've found a googlebot

}else{

  // session initialization code

}

3. For instance, if a ? indicates a session ID, you may want to exclude all URLs that contain them to ensure Googlebot doesn't crawl duplicate pages
