The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, Nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when they discover that someone else believes in them and is willing to trust them.

make certain you or your client are not using the Google toolbar. It will spider any pages it finds.

you can use an .htaccess with username and password to protect pages.

Robots.txt may help you. Google uses it too. Google robots.txt and you will find out how to use it.

If you do use the robots.txt file, make sure that you or your clients are not using the Google toolbar. Google has a habit of going where it shouldn't because of the toolbar finding links.

The best solution would be to use .htacces to password protect the content you don't want seen.

You can also check in the "google webmaster tools" in the tools section a "remove url" tool, which enables you to define specific pages you wish google to exclude from its index.

I wanted to hide the content so Google doesn't know it exists so webmasters tools or robots.txt are out of the question.

I was thinking maybe PHP can do this ?

All you have to do is use PHP to do a regular expression and match the HTTP_USER_AGENT against any of the agent strings Google uses like this

Code:

if ( ! preg_match("/google/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) && ! preg_match("/gsa/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ){

// Google can see the code here

}else{

// Google can't see the code here

}
