cooldude832 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Isn't even relative to php more of a xml question, speaking of which we need an xml board, any way a sitemap uses xml (or flat text) to dictate to a serach engine crawl bot the navigational flow of a site. Crawl bots can then use this information to better understand your site and provide a better indexing of its sub pages. Many serach engines have a ranking system and most of the ranking systems will diminish your ranking if you lack a site map. As for with php a site map can be made via a php script, however a lot of free very good site map programs are out there that do what you want. Also a sitemap can prove to be a useful tool when redesigining a site's primary navigation for you could see a traffic flow that you do not properly control and because of the map you see it. Sitemaps are like a tree with each page branching out and connecting so forth based on forwards/backwards link. They can go very simple from a list of all pages to a very complex web of intertwined pages, all depends on your needs/prefences. Anyway to sum it up not a php question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22552000 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 yes it CAN be a php question. it may be possible that he is asking for a php sitemap generator *really hard to find a good one* I found one that makes both a file list *and sitemap* of files viewable via filesystem, and via the website using a custom built crawling engine!

cooldude832 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 It could be but odds re it ain't. If you want to make one, I do'nt know why you put your self thourgh that when free ones are out there, but the blob function and while loops will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 is site cache used in site mapping...if yes, how to use site caching ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22552000 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 yes site caching IS used in sitemapping but you DONT want it to be used. You usually put stuff in your sites files to STOP caching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
