As @Annames asked about links stored in MySQL and shown via PHP, the important question is not the storage engine but how the links are presented to crawlers. and were on the right track pointing at accessibility; a quick list of what actually matters: (1) the links appear in the HTML that your server returns, (2) the page and its resources are not blocked by robots.txt or meta tags, and (3) the links are not intentionally suppressed with link attributes or session-based gating.

Practical checks you can run right now:

  • Open the page and use "View source" to confirm anchor tags are present in the raw HTML (not inserted only after client-side scripts run).
  • Fetch the page from the command line to see what a bot would receive:
    curl -sL 'https://example.com/your-links-page' | grep -i '<a ' | head
  • Verify there are no X-Robots-Tag headers or <meta name="robots"> directives blocking indexing, and confirm the page isn’t disallowed in robots.txt.
  • Use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Live Test to see how Google fetches and renders the page ().

Notes on rel="nofollow" and discovery: rel="nofollow" is a signal you can use to discourage passing ranking signals, but Google’s handling has evolved and it may treat such attributes as hints for crawling/indexing in some cases (see Google’s discussion of rel link treatment). For general crawling/indexing guidance and JavaScript rendering, see Google Search Central’s crawling overview (Crawling and indexing overview).

Yes, google can see your links as long as you don't require a form or a login to get to them. If you have a links page and the links are pulled dynamically from mysql, they are displayed as HTML so there is no reason google couldn't see them.

Don't worrry, Googlebot can index php pages. Therefore your links which is on the php page will index by google.
