HI
I update my web site with 5 or 6 content every day . I need a script that it makes xml site map automatically . Because it is hard work to make it every day .

I know that I should use cronjob but i need a script that make an xml site map daily and save it in my the root of my host

How can I do so ?

thanks

If you are using a CMS like Wordpress chances are there is an existing site map plugin that you can use. Otherwise google "PHP sitemap generator" and I'm sure you'll find plenty of generic sitemap generators.

With regard to the cronjob. You can avoid using cron by having the sitemap generated every time you add or update your content. You may or may not want to do this depending on how expensive the sitemap generating process is.

What do you suggest ? I want a good xml site map script that it do it daily ?

Here is a custom sitemap I made for my work website using zencart. It has a login area to choose what to map, and the same script also acts as the xml generator to searve the sitemap. You will need to rework it to make it work for your own needs.

Database Tables:

CREATE TABLE `sitemap_sections` (
  `sitemap_key` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `default_priority` int(3) unsigned default NULL,
  `sort` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `status` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`sitemap_key`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `sitemap_options` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `sitemap_key` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `link_key` varchar(100) default NULL,
  `priority` int(3) unsigned default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`,`sitemap_key`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Google Sitemap
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap\.php?xml=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.([a-z]+)\.([0-9.]+)\.xml$ sitemap\.php?xml=1&sec=$1&id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.([a-z]+)\.xml$ sitemap\.php?xml=1&sec=$1 [L]
