Just need to verify search engine indexing (or lack thereof) of phpwiki. I see lots of results from Wikipedia on Google. But I guess since phpwiki info is stored in a database it would not be indexed by search engines. Is that correct?

phpwiki does help search engines very well, technically even better than wikipedia.

But this will not help. Search engines rank links from incoming sites, and if you have no incoming links your rank will not improve. And compared to wikipedia the defacto standard ressource for content it's hillarious to measure any differences.

Are you saying, Google can in fact index phpwiki? I've always understood Google could not index mysql databases.

I'm not really trying to improve my Google page rank. Even though it's only a 5, I have 10 top-10 placements in Google searches already. However, I would like the content in my wiki to show up in Google searches.

Google (and the majority of other search engines) index web pages. phpWiki does a pretty good job of generating these. Where the data comes from (mysql, flat file, carrier pigeons) doesn't matter from the search engines point of view. All it sees is the web page sent by the webserver.

In short;
"Are you saying, Google can in fact index phpwiki?"
Yes.
