Bug #14623 Updated: get_meta_tags only looks in begin of file

ID: 14623 Updated by: derick Reported By: jeroen@zwolnet.com Status: Open Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: elixer New Comment: Just a note... why would you want to do get_meta_tags on a non parsed file? I think it's makes way more sense to use g_m_t on a parsed file.

The only time I am seeing this fail is if the text "</head" appears in the "working code" that you mention. Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-20 10:59:01] jeroen@zwolnet.com get_meta_tags() seems to look only in the beginning of a file, meaning that e.g. if there is a lot of PHP code before the HTML header it will return nothing ... Tested using get_meta_tags() on local files with about 9000 characters of PHP code before HTML HEADER. Might be by design (speed), but then a warning is needed in doc: when adding working code, things (get_meta_tags()) stop working ... Workaround: if possible move code after header or if not include a file :( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14623&edit=1
