noob needs help

[landguy]

hi,

I am new at this so be gentle.

the script below works great if the web page is in the root directory

but if its in a /directory/webpage.php structure, it will not put the meta tags in.

I've tried ../meta_tags.txt and i can't seem to get it to work. It's gotta be simple I just can't get it.

Thanks


this is in the head tag

<?php include('get_meta.php'); ?>

<title><?php print $title; ?></title>

<meta name="description" content="<?php print $meta_description; ?>">

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php print $meta_keywords; ?>">





this is the get_meta.php

<?php



$database = 'meta_tags.txt';

$meta_db = fopen($database, 'r');



$page = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

$page = substr($page, 1);





while($data = fgetcsv($meta_db, 9000, '*'))

{

if($data[0] == $page)

{

$title = $data[1];

$meta_description = $data[2];

$meta_keywords = $data[3];


}

}



?>

Change this

PHP Code:

$database = 'meta_tags.txt'; 


to this

PHP Code:

$database = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/meta_tags.txt'; 


[landguy]

awesome thanks

[landguy]

That doesn't seem to work any other suggestions?

It should work unless you are doing something wrong. Change this

PHP Code:

<?php include('get_meta.php'); ?>

to this

PHP Code:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors','1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>
<?php include('get_meta.php'); ?>

Tell use what error you get. You would be getting errors if you can't open the file.

In get_meta.php change this

PHP Code:

while($data = fgetcsv($meta_db, 9000, '*'))

{

if($data[0] == $page)

{

$title = $data[1];

$meta_description = $data[2];

$meta_keywords = $data[3];


}

} 


to this

PHP Code:

$title = '';
$meta_description = '';
$meta_keywords = '';

while($data = fgetcsv($meta_db, 9000, '*'))

{

if($data[0] == $page)

{

$title = $data[1];

$meta_description = $data[2];

$meta_keywords = $data[3];


}

} 


[landguy]

comes up blank

<title></title>

<meta name="description" content="">

<meta name="keywords" content="">

[landguy]

It still works great if the web page is in the root directory even with the changes

but if its in a /directory/webpage.php structure, it will not put the meta tags in.

[landguy]

I've tried putting the files in the same directory arrrrghhhhhh

this is in the head tag

<?php
ini_set('display_errors','1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>
<?php include('get_meta.php'); ?>
<title><?php print $title; ?></title>



get_meta.php and meta_tags.txt are in the folder

and in the main folder

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

Is get_meta.php in the directory folder or is in the root of your site?

[landguy]

i've tried both ways

right now i have it in the directory

what's wierd is i'm trying to do a 301 redirect test for 1 page not the one I have the code on and this comes up for the page in the address bar

http://www.site.com/kunden/homepages...e.com/page.php

which is sort of what the error message was, maybe has something to do with .htaccess

[_Aerospace_Eng_]

Change this

PHP Code:

<?php include('get_meta.php'); ?>

to this

PHP Code:

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/get_meta.php'); ?>

Put get_meta.php in the root of your site. If that doesn't work then there is something else causing the problem.

[landguy]

I saw that same sort of line in the .htaccess? Thanks for your help on this

Post your htaccess file.
