Bug #13988 Updated: get_meta_tags function failure if title tag contains a '

ID: 13988 User updated by: software@polin.it Reported By: software@polin.it Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows 98 first edition PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Sorry but when typing I forget a "=". This html and php is pasted from the source directly: test.html............................................. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Questo e' un titolo di prova</title> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="Il mio nome est pippo!"> <meta name="author" content="Andrea!"> </head> <body> </body> </html> end of file test.html............................. pippo.php..................................... <?php $tags = get_meta_tags("test.html"); echo $tags['description']."<br>".$tags['author']; ?> end of file pippo.php......................... As I said: This example (pippo.php) fails, because it does not display the description and author tags correctly. If I move the line <title> after the metas it works. If I remove the character ' from <title> it works. The file test.html has been validated at: http://validator.w3.org so the html code is correct.

The problem is the ' character. If it is contained inside a tag title before a meta then get_meta_tags fails. If the title tag with the ' character is put after the meta, then it works. If I delete the ' character then it works always. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13988&edit=1
