[CONTRIBUTION] Google Sitemap Generator for osCommerce MS-2.2 stores - Categories

After posting the latest version of the Google Sitemap Generator for the catalog products there have been several people request that I also post the one for categories.

So, I have also posted the latest sitemap script for the categories on Digital Point forum as well!

I posted the code inline with the post so that you can inspect it and see how it works. However, I have also attached the file so as to eliminate copy-and-paste errors that will inevitably occur.

If you register on the forum to directly download the file be sure to fill in my screen name (Chemo of course!) so that they know who sent you :-)

PHP4/MySQL Error Handling with an Observer design pattern

I put up an article on Digg.com just to see what kind of response it gets. If people find it useful I'll post more articles on PHP design patterns and some interesting solutions to common problems. Here's the link: PHP4/MySQL Error Handling with an Observer design pattern. If you dig the article...be sure to give me a DIGG! :-)

Google Sitemap Generator v1.2 (osCommerce MS-2.2) - by Chemo

I have recently joined the Digital Point forum and will be releasing never before published scripts for osCommerce based stores. In addition I'm going to post articles on PHP design patterns, application architecture, and of course example scripts.

The first script that I'm releasing is the followup to my Google Sitemap Generator contribution. As some quick history...exactly 12 hours after I released the v1.0 script I was banned by Harald and the osCommerce team from the community. As a result I never had the change to properly support the contribution and of course was not able to release further developements.
