HTTP request.

[Bob Bedford]

Hi all, I'm trying to submit the google sitemap after it has been created on
my server with PHP.

Here is the code:
<?php $address= urlencode('www.mysite.com/sitemap.gz');?>

<form name="submitsitemap" method="POST"
action="http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=<?php echo
$address;?>"></form>
<script>submitsitemap.submit();</script>

The problem is that in the URL i've this:
http://www.mysite.com/www.google.com...sitemaps/ping?.........

The strange thing is that the result of the page is not a missing page but a
ok in a blank page, like everything worked fine....

Can somebody help ? Thanks

Bob

submitsitemap this way is IE only.

http://www.mysite.com/www.google.com...sitemaps/ping?.........

I doubt that, but please get rid of the php crap,
and ask a javascript question.

HI Evertjan, thanks for replying.

><form name="submitsitemap" method="POST"
action="http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=<?php
echo $address;?>"></form>
<script>submitsitemap.submit();</script>

It's ok. I'll run it with a scheduler and I know it will be done with IE

Doubt or not, it the result I've in the IE URL, and it's a javascript
question.
maybe:
<form name="submitsitemap" method="POST"
action="http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=www.mysite.com/sitemap.gz">
will be easier to read.

Anyway, why I've the www.mysite.com/www.google result ?

I do not know, can you show a url that has this habit?

This:
=========
<form name="submitsitemap" method="POST"
action="http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?
sitemap=www.mysite.com/sitemap.gz">
</form>
<script>submitsitemap.submit();</script>
=========
works fine overhere!!!

Why do you use a form submit? You do not sent post info.
Try this:

<script type='text/javascript'>
location.href = "http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?
sitemap=www.mysite.com/sitemap.gz"
// in one line!!
</script>
