Good one, i need something like this to generate sitemap of some static resources at Vozidea. Thanks for the code!

If you have a need to break up a text file with more than 10,000 urls, use this: https://gist.github.com/artlung/613e6ac577a170bf2b4b9045486f129e

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. However, it looks like the doesn't update by itself daily. In order to have it updated, I need to save the sitemap-urls.txt file. There is a way hoe I can have this done automatically everyday?

There are a number of different ways to automate a task, typically on a Unix based system you would use cron. But it would depend on your expectations how to use that. You’d also need to automate the URL list as well in some manner.

You need a cron job + the source of the URLs (database/json or whatever) and a mofified php script like this...

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you have a working solution for this?

Hello,
thank you very much for your work! Is it possible to make script for case when URLs more than 50K? It requires index sitemap file.

@Vision20202 See https://gist.github.com/artlung/613e6ac577a170bf2b4b9045486f129e for a longer list of URLs. This breaks up the longer list up into chunks according to the rules for sizing.

I tried this version but received the following error:
Undefined index: page in .../sitemap/sitemap.xml.php on line 25

line 25: $page = (int)$_GET['page'];
Please help to solve the problem.

Thank you very much!

Breaking up individual sitemaps into individual files should be possible. A new *.xml.php for each, and then edit the line $filename = 'sitemap-urls.txt'; so it refers to a new txt file should be sufficient for your needs, if I'm understanding you.

THANK YOU! Worked perfectly.
