Overview

eac_sitemap.class is an easy to use PHP utility that generates site maps, site clouds, directory listings, and files using the documents found on your web server.

eac_sitemap.class can create site maps ...

1. As a typical site map showing page links and descriptions.
   This format uses the <title> tag for the link and the <meta description> tag for the description.
   It can also parse the file to build a table of contents based on a given regular expression.
2. As a directory listing.
   This format shows each folder as a parent expandable/colapsable directory.
   It uses the index file within the folder for the title.
3. As a link cloud.
   This format uses the file name as the link (after formating) and creates a "cloud" of links.
4. As an XML sitemap file (see www.sitemaps.org).
   Used by Google, Yahoo and other major search engines to enhance your site's presence in search engine listings.

All links include the <title> and <meta description> from the documents in the <a title= > tag.
All images include the <title> in the <img alt= > tag.

Formating of your sitemap is handled by style sheets (css). Each element has a class assigned for easy yet detailed formating.

* new version now uses robots.txt for exclusions.
