[PHP] $PHP_SELF in a template problem, I think ??
I run a small search engine and adding URL's is a bit of a pain so I thought
I would try to make it easier. Looking around I found a PHP function called
"get_meta_tags" which unsurprisingly, grabs the contents of varoius meta
tags. I just want the "description" contents so I first made a standalone
PHP page (http://www.yorkshire-search.co.uk/links/meta-tags.php3) which
performs get_meta_tags and uses $PHP_SELF so output is displayed on a page
with the same name. Check it out and you see that works fine (was a slight
problem if no initial URL value set).
However, the search engine uses HTML templates and that is where my problem
is.
Within the orginal form (add_form.html) was just HTML so I deleted that and
put the above working code between tags to generate a form.
WhenI uploaded it and then entered the page, the form displayed OK but when
I
press "generate meta tags" it refuses to output the results into the boxes.
The search engine manual says you can place PHP code within templates as
long as they are within tags so I am now at a bit of loss.
This is the add_form.html template if anyone is interested.

Tried this and got parsing errors so " must be correct.

[PHP] What's the difference between echo and print?
What's the difference between echo and print? I believed they were the same. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Does $PHP_SELF work in templates?
Lets take the most simple of scripts and run it on a standalone page to
prove it's working correctly before we import into a template file.
http://www.yorkshire-search.co.uk/links/add_form.php4
Next step, lets change the tags to because that's what
it says in the manual and put it into the add_form.html template and see if
it runs now. http://www.yorkshire-search.co.uk/links/add.php3
Oh dear boys and girls, it doesn't work and poor old Phil is starting to
cry.
I know, let's play a game and see if we can cheer him up by finding out why
the below code doesn't work and of course, you can play along at home too.
{
$MetaTags = get_meta_tags("$getmetafrompage/",1);
{
$description = $MetaTags["description"];
}
print "";
print "If your page already has META tags you may import and edit
them.";
print "URL: http://\";>";
print "";
echo "<%error_msg%>";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "$description";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
}
This is my attempt at humour if anyone was wondering !!

[PHP] Put value directly into form?
How can I directly put values into a form instead having to create hidden fields and drag the data from them? You can see what I mean at: http://www.yorkshire-search.co.uk/links/add.php3 Would a javascipt function be any use to me? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Re: Put value directly into form?
> http://www.yorkshire-search.co.uk/links/add.php3
Right, I seem to have not made myself too clear so I'll try again.
Originally, the page "add.php3" was using a plain HTML template called
"add_form.html" which consisted of a simple form. If you click on the link
above and have a look at the page, everything below Add Link was how it
started off. In the code below, it's everything after the tag. Users
would just complete the form and press submit.
However, I decided instead of typing in certain fields, I wanted to autofill
the boxes so I found a PHP4 script which would grab meta-tags and embedded
it into the template. All PHP scripts have to be within tags as
defined in a different part of the search engine script.
My problem is that whatever method I have tried, I have not managed autofil
the forms text boxes with values from the script in a one step process.
I first tried putting the HTML form in the script but this brought parsing
errors. Next I tried keeping the form in the HTML but trying to use
value= statement. This again brought parsing errors or the code
simply appeared in the box.
Hope that makes a bit more sense.
// Include the function so you can use it later in the page
require('metaengine.php');
// Call the MetaEngine function and assign the return value to an array
$metaInfo = MetaEngine($url);
// Array index is not numbers but names, such as:
// $metaInfo[title] is the title of the page
// $metaInfo[description] is the description of the page
// $metaInfo[keywords] is the keywords of the page
echo "
Sample
Enter URL: 1. Press the submit button and it will grab meta tags of
website.
2.
If complete URL displays in box below, press the above
button.
