Hello,
thank you very much for your work! Is it possible to make script for case when URLs more than 50K? It requires index sitemap file.

@Vision20202 See https://gist.github.com/artlung/613e6ac577a170bf2b4b9045486f129e for a longer list of URLs. This breaks up the longer list up into chunks according to the rules for sizing.

I tried this version but received the following error:
Undefined index: page in .../sitemap/sitemap.xml.php on line 25

line 25: $page = (int)$_GET['page'];
Please help to solve the problem.

Hi, I need to add the URLs manually in the sitemap eg: the University landing page (University-page.php) inside that I need to show all the Single University Pages. EG: University-page-sitemap.xml -> University/incae-sitemap.xml, University/uniandes-sitemap.xml, University/wharton-executive-education-sitemap.xml. Clicking on the University-page-sitemap.xml I need this Single University inside that in site map. can you please provide me Custom code for this.

Breaking up individual sitemaps into individual files should be possible. A new *.xml.php for each, and then edit the line $filename = 'sitemap-urls.txt'; so it refers to a new txt file should be sufficient for your needs, if I'm understanding you.
