PHP sitemap Index

My sitemap is massive and I have to break it into a s开发者_JAVA技巧itemap index which i have done and the sitemaps listed are sitmap-1.xml sitemap-2.xml etc.

I want to have one sitemap file which is based on the sitemap number chosen ie. sitemap-1.xml will go to the sitemap file and list 1 - 30,000 links and if sitemap-2 is chosen will show 30,000 - 60,000 etc...

How do I check which sitemap number was selected,and do i name the file?

Why not name them as you did "sitemap-1" and "sitemap-2" and within you do something like that in a sitemap.php file:

$number = $_GET['number'];
$entries_per_page = 30000;
for($i = ($number - 1) * $entries_per_page; $i < $number * $entries_per_page; $i++){
  // print out the values
}

In addition to that add an entry in your .htaccess like this:

RewriteRule sitemap-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?number=$1

You can also use the bounries for your SQL query:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ".(($number - 1) * $entries_per_page).", ".$entries_per_page;

I use something similar and in addition to that a sitemap_index.php file looking like this:

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<? for($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) : ?>
 <sitemap>
  <loc><?php echo ROOT_PATH?>sitemap_<?= $i ?>.xml</loc>
  <lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d')?></lastmod>
 </sitemap>
<? endfor ?>
</sitemapindex>

And as most search engines do like sitemaps with a maximum of 1000 entries, you might split your sitemap in even smaller parts. And just use ceil($total_entries/$entries_per_page) for the for loop (replacing the "6").

Sounds like you need a primitive linking index document? Something like this:

<site-idx>
  <sub href="sitemap-1.xml"/>
  <sub href="sitemap-2.xml"/>
  <sub href="sitemap-3.xml"/>
</site-idx>

You can then write a program thats takes a number as an input, makes assumptions about how many entries there are per file and then loads the correct index? Or maybe you could specify the number of entries in each sub-file in the index file:

<site-idx>
  <sub href="sitemap-1.xml" num="1000"/>
  <sub href="sitemap-2.xml" num="1010"/>
  <sub href="sitemap-3.xml" num="1101"/>
</site-idx>

You might be able to leverage XInclude to load the sub documents, for large XML files I'd suggest using the XMLReader in PHP, it'll consume lots less memory.
