Creating multiple Sitemaps in PHP

Question

i have following problem, i generated the urls for the sitemap, in a array. So the array has 60000 entries. And google wants me to create 2 sitemaps cause the limit is 50000 ent

Answer 1

array_chunk is your friend:

$data = array_chunk($data, 50000);

foreach ($data as $key => $value)
{
    $cfile = 'sitemap_' . $i  . '.xml';
    $createfile = fopen($cfile, 'w');

    fwrite($createfile, "\n");
    fwrite($createfile, "\n");

    foreach ($value as $url)
    {
        $creat = "\n";
        $creat .= "" . $url . "\n";
        $creat .= "1.00\n";
        $creat .= "\n";

        fwrite($createfile, $creat);
    }

    fclose($createfile);
}

Works with a variable number of sitemaps out of the box.
