PHP library for writing sitemap XML conform with the sitemaps.org schema.

Usage

Note that the SiteMapXmlWriter classes will always write a new sitemap. It's not possible to edit or delete entries from an existing sitemap.

Urlset

http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#urlsetdef

Example

// Create a new urlset writer.
$writer = new SiteMapUrlSetXmlWriter();
$writer->open('your/path/to/file.xml');

// Create a new entry object.
$entryLocation = Url::fromNative('http://foo.bar/file.html');
$entryModified = Date::fromNative(2015-05-19);

$entry = new SiteMapXmlEntry($entryLocation);
$entry->setLastModified($entryModified);

// Write the entry object.
$writer->write($entry);

// Close the writer. (Will save the XML.)
$writer->close();

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
 <url>
  <loc>http://foo.bar/file.html</loc>
  <lastmod>2015-5-19</lastmod>
 </url>
</urlset>

Sitemap index

http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#sitemapIndex_sitemap

Example

// Create a new sitemap index writer.
$writer = new SiteMapIndexXmlWriter();
$writer->open('your/path/to/file.xml');

// Create a new entry object.
$entryLocation = Url::fromNative('http://foo.bar/sitemap-file.xml');
$entryModified = Date::fromNative(2015-05-19);

$entry = new SiteMapXmlEntry($entryLocation);
$entry->setLastModified($entryModified);

// Write the entry object.
$writer->write($entry);

// Close the writer. (Will save the XML.)
$writer->close();

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
 <sitemap>
  <loc>http://foo.bar/sitemap-file.xml</loc>
  <lastmod>2015-5-19</lastmod>
 </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Writing XML to output / memory

Passing null, or php://output to the open() method of any SiteMapXmlWriter object will write the XML to the output stream.

Passing php://memory will write the XML to the memory stream.
