Last madified time & date in xml sitemap?
« on: December 07, 2009, 09:52:32 PM »
I understand that as I am using a php site then the last mod field is the last time that the page was accessed.

Is there a way to work around this issue in simple terms please?

It would be nice to reflect the real last modified times as this would stop the robots crawling the same pages over and over.

Many thanks,

Sye

Hello,

you will need to modify your website's PHP script by adding a lst modified http header with code similar to:
Code: [Select]
<?phpheader('Last-modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $your_lastmod_date));?>
