How to ignore pageviews by search engines on a PHP page?

I have a particular PHP page that I want to conditionally do things only if the visitor is not a search engine. Are there some good regex to match \[code\]$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']\[/code\]?Or would it be better to do a javascript redirect back to the page but set a flag, since search engines don't have javascript? (I don't have to worry much about my users not having Javascript for this page.)I don't want to completely exclude search engines from hitting the page though, so save the robots.txt suggestion.
