PHP - Sitemap Create Large Website Photo Albums With Java Etc

Hi all, I'm new here (first post) so hopefully you'll all go easy on me

I'm created a price comparison website for cameras and lenses. I will have around fifteen retailers on the site. Now I need to scrape each of their websites for the prices - this I can do. However, need a little help and advice on the best way to go about tackling this...is it best to create one big script or have various ones for each retailer, etc?

Any help would be appreciated greatly

I got a question  regarding a news website content that i want to make ! my question is how do i   call my contents without using a lot of page?   i explain   let's say i got 10 news how do i put this 10 news in different pages without using 10 pages ? ex: you can see some links having a number like this http://bbc.uk/news/murder_case-12 then the next page got http://bbc.uk/news/finance-13 the title and the number id change but the page news doesnt change    thanks for your answer.

I am looking at making a photogallery system for an online community based site. I know that we need to have unique id's , photo names and albums.

What i am looking for is:

Would it be recommended to create a directory for each user once they are registerd?
How would you go about naming and sorting photogralleries?
How would you go about naming you photos?
How would you do it?

I was thinking about a uuid kind of code: ( from php.net)

  Code: [Select]
class UUID {
  public static function v3($namespace, $name) {
    if(!self::is_valid($namespace)) return false;

    // Get hexadecimal components of namespace
    $nhex = str_replace(array('-','{','}'), '', $namespace);

    // Binary Value
    $nstr = '';

    // Convert Namespace UUID to bits
    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($nhex); $i+=2) {
      $nstr .= chr(hexdec($nhex[$i].$nhex[$i+1]));
    }

    // Calculate hash value
    $hash = md5($nstr . $name);

    return sprintf('%08s-%04s-%04x-%04x-%12s',

      // 32 bits for "time_low"
      substr($hash, 0, 8),

      // 16 bits for "time_mid"
      substr($hash, 8, 4),

      // 16 bits for "time_hi_and_version",
      // four most significant bits holds version number 3
      (hexdec(substr($hash, 12, 4)) & 0x0fff) | 0x3000,

      // 16 bits, 8 bits for "clk_seq_hi_res",
      // 8 bits for "clk_seq_low",
      // two most significant bits holds zero and one for variant DCE1.1
      (hexdec(substr($hash, 16, 4)) & 0x3fff) | 0x8000,

      // 48 bits for "node"
      substr($hash, 20, 12)
    );
  }

  public static function v4() {
    return sprintf('%04x%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x%04x%04x',

      mt_rand(0, 0xffff), mt_rand(0, 0xffff),

Hi ppl,
I am not an php expert, but I want to allow my website users to edit a record in mySQL table.
I need to allow them changing Name and description of a product, thats all. easy edit.

Is there a ready component that will do the hard work for me?
Thank you!

err, dunno if i managed to put it in the right thread but if i didn't, please tell me. thank you.     getting back on topic, my father asked me to create a website for a school. i know how to make a website but the problem is, how do i start? should i ask about their objectives or something? color of the webpage etc? in short, i don't know the practicalities and processes used in making a website for a certain client. you could say this would be my first time in doing this (kind of like an on-the-job training) so...any ideas? i would very much appreciate any help given.  

Okay so im not that new with PHP but im still learning. So im creating a php website with dreamweaver CS3 and phpmyadmin, which is based on a Music Library. I have a page where you can browse by the artists name. When you click on that it shows you all the artists with that name. But its the next part im having difficulty with. Keeping this as a one page system, i want the artists albums to be displayed when you click on a particular artist. I tried some methods but it doesnt seem to work 

[Refer to the images from below]
Image1 shows the alphabetical list..clicking on any of these takes you to Image 2 which displays all the artists. By clicking on one of these artists i want it to take me to a seperate page which shows all their albums. And by clicking on the albums it shows song names from those particular albums. These song names will then be linked to actual lyrics of the song.

There are three tables i have on phpmyadmin which i want the data to be from. These are

albums
-album_id
-artist
-album_name
-tracklisting
-genre
-release_date
-price
-album_image
-album_description

artists
-artist_ID
-artist
-artist_info
-image

media
-media_id
-song_url
-video_url
-artist
-album
-song_title
-lyrics

The ones in bold are the field names id like to be included in the php script. The edition of mhpmyadmin i have doesnt enable linked tables. any help would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks. 

I'm wanting to make a sitemap for my website but should I includes ALL possible url's?  For example I have a search page (where you can search a film) where the url syntax is something like "search.php?type=all&film=a+film".  Should I make sure that all possible urls are included in my sitemap e.g all the films in my database?  Hope that makes sense. 

Thanks for any help. 

Hi.

I'm trying to create my first XML sitemap that I am going to be submitting to google.
The sitemap is going to be PHP but using MOD rewrite to make it look like an XML file.

The site map has been created.  http://test.powtest.co.uk/sitemap.xml
But, I now want to style it.

However, when I add the XML style file, I get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a/d/adele/web/public_html/sitemap.php on line 1


I'm not to sure how to get my PHP file to read in the XML style file.

Any help would be much appreciated

First of all I have no idea  how to do this. But I know it can be done. A little help would be alot for me.

Thank you in advance.

So I want to go through a sitemap and visit each of the link on the sitemap and save the URL on to a database.

Example:

Quote

HP 5550N A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W A4 Mono Laser Printer
 

 HP 9050dn A3 Mono Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550DTN A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550HDN A3 Colour Laser Printer
 

 HP 5550DN A3 Colour Laser Printer


Lets say this was on the sitemap and it just continues with other product like this. I want to write a code where it will go to the first link and saves the product URL on to the database and continues to do the same until the last link. On my example it would be HP 5550DN A3 Colour Laser Printer.

Any help??? Any ideas??

I am not asking someone to write the code for me.. Just need help and good direction   

I'm wanting to make a sitemap for my website but as it's quite big there are a lot of url's I need to include.  I was wondering if anyone know's of a way this can be done using PHP.  e.g. using PHP to generate a list of URL's.  I had a think myself but wasn't sure how to do it. 

Thanks for any help. 

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.

Code: [Select]
$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

Hello,

I have found the following code which creates a sitemap from the home directory of files. Please could you point me in the right direction for changing this so that it looks up from my sql database and for each name within the database creates an entry in the sitemap (e.g. www.mysite.com/[NAME]).

Thanks for your help,

Stu

I wish to create a sitemap for a shopping cart and so far it seem this needs to be in XML format? is this true ?

If so are there any templates that I can use to base my sitemap on.

I have a simple php script that updates my sitemap automatically. However, when you click the link to the sitemap at www.bomstudies.com/sitemap-xml.php - the last mod date is showing 1969. The php script works for files that are not in sub folders. such as /talks or /commentary. I just need to know what snippet of code i should add, change, or delete to the sitemap php side of it to show the correct last mod date for my xml sitemap. I greatly appreciate your help.    Thanks -    Here is some of my code:   The Config Code: posted as config.php <?php
