So what if search engines pick it up? It is a php script with a .php extension, so the server will
parse the file. And since it is just a variable include, the output will be nothing :).
There is a scare for those people who name files .inc or .txt or no extension at all, and the
server doesn't parse the file and opens or prompts for download :|
