Q: I am not sure I understand the use of the sitemapxml.php. I've loaded the file on my server. I can get to the form and set the variables. I click generate and after a few seconds the page refreshes but no xml is generated. If I use the same parameters from the form on your page I get the xml I would expect to get. On the install/directions page(your web site) it is mentioned to not name the file as .xml because this is generated by the .php. So, my question is, when uploading the information at Google, do I use the .php file? (vs. selecting, copying, pasting to create an .xml file).

A: If when running the SiteMap XML as a form on your server you get no xml generated it maybe that your server does not suppport php. You can check using the Test Code at https://bizpep.com/phptest.html . When you run it in dynamic mode (see the Help file on how to do this ie $autoXML = "Y" etc) you should submit php file to google, when google call this file (looking for the sitemap) the php creates the required xml format and then returns it to google. You can check that it all runs ok calling the php file from your browser and when running in dynamic mode it will return the required xml. As an example you can see the dynamic sitemap xml returned for the bizpep site at https://bizpep.com/sitemapxml/ .
