so that has nothing to do with php code per se duke.

That is referring to variable based urls (this can be done in javascript, html, php, asp, .net etc)

There are easy ways around this but it seems to be the easy solution.

My understanding is that what they are talking about is : index.php?myname=bob&myage=60&location=alabama

In that instance, google would only ever index the index.php file (most of the time). What people 'should' do is use something like mod_rewrite to re-write the urls before being passed to the client (and therefore the spider) to become : site/index/mynameisbob/myageis60/mylocationisalabama/

It's a convoluted example but you get my point.
