note 56980 added to function.get-meta-tags

I used this as part of my mini php search based search engine - it really slowed the whole thing down. I wrote this function to read HTML (just fetch the file or use something like snoopy) and extract the meta data via a simple regex, works a treat and made my crawler much faster: <?php function get_meta_data($html) { preg_match_all( "|<meta[^>]+name=\\"([^\\"]*)\\"[^>]+content=\\"([^\\"]*)\\"[^>]+>|i", $html, $out,PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); for ($i=0;$i < count($out[1]);$i++) { // loop through the meta data - add your own tags here if you need if (strtolower($out[1][$i]) == "keywords") $meta['keywords'] = $out[2][$i]; if (strtolower($out[1][$i]) == "description") $meta['description'] = $out[2][$i]; } return $meta; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-meta-tags.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56980 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56980&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56980&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
