ok things I thought were ok with sitemap are now producing a different problem...
Google is looking for this:
http://thelifephotography.com/cat-show%20me%20the%20money-7.htmleven though my sitemap says this at
www.thelifephotography.com/googlex.php :
http://thelifephotography.com/cat-show_me_the_money-7.htmso I am guessing google and not accept underscore _ as a character in an address. My questin is what to replace the underscore with to make replace a <space> in an address in the special characters?
ANd why is google looking for html files even though my sitemap says to look for htm files?
Ok, I got it working...
with this:
$imgname = strtr($image['image_name'], ", éèêàëâúóíìáàABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","--eeeaeauoiiaaabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
and this for cats
$imgname = strtr($image['image_name'], ", éèêàëâúóíìáàABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","--eeeaeauoiiaaabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"); $img_url = $gallery_url.'img-'.$imgname.'-'.$imgid.'.html';and this
$cat_url = $gallery_url.'cat-'.$catname.'-'.$catid.'.html';The I replaced <spaces> with - and .htm with html....
But I have just came to a cold hard realization...
Somehow rewrite is not working...
I have placed my .htaccess @
/htdocs/.htaccesswhich is the same directory as 4images.
it looks like this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ googlez.php
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^cat-(.*)-([0-9]+)\.htm$ categories.php?cat_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^cat\.htm$ categories.php?%{QUERY_STRING}
#Mod_bmollet : Image name in URL
RewriteRule ^img-(.*)-([0-9]+)\.htm$ details.php?image_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^img([0-9]+)\.search.htm$ details.php?image_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^img([0-9]+)\.lightbox.htm$ details.php?image_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ googlez.php
#Mod_bmollet : This is to make search function work ( redirect links from search results )
RewriteRule ^search\.htm$ search.php?%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^search\.([0-9]+)\.htm$ search.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^lightbox\.htm$ lightbox.php?%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^lightbox\.([0-9]+)\.htm$ lightbox.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ googlez.php
I know i did this three times.... Becuse 1 time didnt work.
my googlez.php creates the xml and looks like this:

THanks for any help.
OK!!!!! I found out why!!!
God I dont know why it takes my brain so long to work!!!!
If you are using the Google BEST SEO mod you must edit your sessions.php to make the special characthers match the special characters in your google.php file!!!!!
