writing to google xml sitemap file

[Giddy Rob]

Hi,

 

I have found a nice little script to write to the xml file for google, but it appears not to be updating the file.

 

Could someone please let me know what might be wrong as this is the first time I've tried to do this.

 

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$dom->load('../sitemap.xml'); // if it's a string, $dom->load($xmlFile) if is a file
// create the new node element
$node = $dom->createElement('url');
// build node
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('loc', $title));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('lastmode', date(Y-m-d)));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('changefreq', 'monthly'));
$node->appendChild($dom->createElement('priority', '2'));
// append the child node to the root
$dom->documentElement->appendChild($node);
// get the document as an XML string
$xmlStr = $dom->save();	

 

I was wondering if it was something to do with the [urlset] tag within the xml file I'm using? The xml file is just a standard google sitemap.xml

 

Any help on this would be great

 

Cheers

 

Rob
