No, google or any search engine has not any effect at all.

php code is handled on your server, so the search engines can't distinguish between html and php at all. The only sign of its use will potentially be the .php extension and I do not believe that that has any effect at all.

Just be careful not to use a lot of url data i.e.

index.php?v=1&this=that&anotherthing=somethingelse

it used to be that Google (and I assume other search engine spiders) had a hard time keeping track of url data while crawling. So if your site relied heavily on it, Google could not crawl/index your site properly. More recently they have improved but I think it is still wise to limit url data to a few variables at most.

Search engines may have problems reading the page query past the ? symbol etc, instead it is common practise to use mod re-write or better filenames such as /page-name etc

instead of yoursite.com/index.php?page=main you would like to use yoursite.com/main , simply research how to use .htaccess on your server.

PHP is good, but if you just want to make it simple use HTML because HTML wont hurt.
