XML Sitemap Generator Script in PHP for Google and others
We develop a lot of websites and quite rightly the owners want their site to appear in Google as quickly as possible. One way to speed up this process is to use Google's sitemap tool.
Google accept sitemaps in various formats, one of them being XML.
Now if you have a site, or develop websites, that quite often have new content and pages being added to them it can be a pain to create a new sitemap each time. For this reason we have taken a nice little script developed in ASP by Francesco Passantino and rewritten it in PHP.
To use this script, simply place it in the root of your website and tell Google where it is in the Add Sitemap section of Google sitemaps.
The script will generate a valid XML sitemap that will dynamically update whenever new pages are added or pages are deleted.
Version 1.0 can be found here. This is for PHP5 only, we also have a PHP4 version which can be found here. To use the PHP4 version you will need the strripos PHP4 script from here.

Hi.
Third paragraph:

Remember you'll have to change the extension to .php.
We have identified a bug with the script. It is not very happy with sub-directories. We will publish an update shortly.
