I'm doing dynamic generation of a Google sitemap. The important
(albeit truncated) code is as follows:
$file_list = get_sitemap($directory,$file_list); # Function that
loops through the site and gets all of the file names
$file_list = explode('|',$file_list); # The list of files is pipe (|)
separated
array_pop($file_list); # The last array value is blank because of the
way the loop in the function above works
for ($i=0;$i<count($file_list);$i++) {
echo $file_list[$i].' .:. ';
echo date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime('../about-
us.html')).' .:. TEST<br />'; # The ../ is because this file is
running in a subdirectory and for proof of concept that it's working
echo date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($file_list[$i])).' .:.
TEST<br />';
echo date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime('../about-
us.html')).' .:. TEST<br />'; # The ../ is because this file is
running in a subdirectory and for proof of concept that it's working
}
The problem is that when filemtime hits the *first* file in *any*
directory, it bombs for that file, with this error:
Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: stat failed for [file name
would be here]
A couple of notes:
1. The two '../about_us.html' lines are there to nail the first file
it is trying to get the time from.
2. Doing filemtime with the file name directly typed into filemtime
works fine.
3. I also did a string comparison on the directly typed name vs. the
array version of the name, and they are *exactly* the same.
4. I tried doing file opens, directory opens, and pretty much
anything else I could come up with to possibly "initialize" access to
the various directories, but it didn't make any difference.
5. I googled and did my due diligence for filemtime and the error
message, but
5. I also tried a bunch of canned scripts for generating Google
sitemaps, but none of them really worked for my purposes.
Any insight any of you can provide is greatly appreciated.
If you've got a really good script that automatically grabs all file
names, file mod times, and has a file ignore list, I'd love to see
it. Like I said, nothing I found seemed to be very solid and didn't
work very well.
