Finding Data In Meta Tags using php to search Meta Tags for data

[jlhaslip 4]

In the Head portion of an Html file, there are usually several Meta Tags that contain data about various things, like the tag for keywords, an Author's name or maybe a description field.

Here are two example Meta tags:

 

<meta name="Keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2" />
 <meta name="Description" content=" A Description of the file's content is here" />

 

So, what I have a question about concerns checking a file to see what information is included in these tags and using that information as variables or content in the output of the page. For example, if I wanted to find the information included in the content="..." field in either of these two meta tags, what php variable would I check or how would I find it from inside the php page?

Then I wish to output it using an echo or print command. Is this possible?

 

Okay.... Never mind, I found the answer.

How about I just use "get_meta_tags ()" and the array elements found in that?
