Hi, I have a embedded video website comprised of a main page, with header (head.php). Head.php contains the usual meta info on top. Ex:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>blah blah</title>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days" />
<meta name="keywords" content="blah blah" />
<meta name="description" content="blah blah " />

The title and keywords on head.php are static when on main page, which is fine with me.

Here's my problem/question:

When I were to click one of my movie thumbs from the main page, it opens up a viewer page called view_video.php. This page contains a unique title of the video, along with tags (keywords). I want to be able to have the video title appear in <title>blah blah</title> and the tags appear in <meta name="keywords" content="blah blah" />.

The title/tags come from mysql database.

This way every video page has it's own unique title/keywords for the google bots to crawl.

This should help, I've posted my code.

head.php : http://pastebin.co.za/650
view_video.php : http://pastebin.co.za/651

Title is defined as: $video['title'];
Tags defined as : $video['tags']

Hope someone can figure this one out!
Thanks!!

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$filename = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$filename = basename($filename);
?>

Add this code to header.
The $filename will return the current file name that's executing. You can use the $filename with some if-else to change the META and TITLE tag values.

Happy coding

I have nearly zero PHP knowledge. If you could please tell me exactly what to add to my head.php, I'd be grateful.

I tried doing this (piecing together help from multiple sources)♠♠

<?php
$filename = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$filename = basename($filename);
?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><?=$video['title']?></title>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?=$video['tags']?> test, test" />

Please don't laugh too hard at my futile attempt. Can someone clean this up for me?

I hate to sound like a dick, but if you have "nearly zero PHP" you really should hire someone to do you code for you or get a book on PHP.

**cashbagg** · 11-01-2008, 05:04 PM

Rogem002, I don't see the point in you wasting yours and my time with useless replies such as this.

Obviously I could hire someone to do it. Instead I have chosen to ask around and see if I can get help with this by dipping into the VAST knowledge pool know as the World Wide Web...

This is a help forum for webmasters, is it not?

Well I'm asking politely for help, and your answer was anything but.

Don't copy and paste this. Get the concepts
Or
Use This method
Grab The Paga Main contains through DB. You had allready Got them. As you are displaying The page.Store in title variable And In title tage Display this with echo

This is the most simplyfied solution you can adopt utill you are comfortable with language.

Yep, A HELP forum not a replacement for tutorials or reference books.

If it is till unsolved:

PHP Code:


			
$filename = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$filename = basename($filename);
if($filename == 'index.php'){
//put your META and TITLE here for index
}else if($filename == 'test.php'){
//put your META and TITLE here for test
}

Although the better approach will be to create a small CMS and store these values in DB.
