php-sitemap-generator's Issues

Inappropriate link protocols included in sitemap

I would argue that links containing the "mailto" and "tel" protocols should not be included in the sitemap. I had an email link show in my sitemap because it included the website domain in the address (whereas the GMail address was not included, because external links were not being crawled). A reference explaining this type of link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a

For example, a crawl of the "www.examplesite.com" website which contains a "mailto" link using the "[email protected]" address, would have an entry like this in the sitemap:
http://www.examplesite.com/mailto:[email protected]

Retrieve the modified date and populate de sitemap

I try to retrieve the <meta property="article:modified_time" content="" /> in my website to populate <lastmod> tag in the sitemap

In sitemap-generator.php, after :

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
		$dom = new DOMDocument();
		@$dom->loadHTML($html);

I add this :

		$xp = new domxpath($dom);
			foreach ($xp->query("//meta[@property='article:modified_time']") as $el) {
				 $el->getAttribute("content");
			}

I'm a beginner in php, how can i add $el to the xml ?
Also, i'd like to format the modified_time in Y-M-D
thanks

multi xml files

generate multi XML files when links more than 50,000

Wrong URL in sitemap

If the URLs in the anchor tag are starting with //www.example.com or such it makes the URL entry into the sitemap as https://www.example.com//example.com/page

Xml error with ampersands

I had this error when i tried to generate the sitemap : $dom->loadXML($xml); EntityRef: expecting ';' at line 163
so i add this code, and now it's working well
$xml = str_replace('&', '&', $xml);
