PHP - Different Meta Description Different Pages?

Hi.

I'm making a website where users can upload files along with title, description and image.

I can get them making the page (str replace) but I only know how to list the files with just the file title in a basic links directory.
Any ideas how I could include title, description and a picture (as well as the link to the page). Sort of like with Youtube search results or engine001.com/games.htm?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have a website here [redacted] and it is an affiliate website where I just find products and promote them. All I have to do is give product a title, affiliate url, the description, an image and a price. I am trying to make the product description area hold more text than it does now, because at the moment in the admin side of my website it says "product description 275 max characters" That is really a short sentence. Can anyone please help me I have no php skills but really wish I did, if you need more info I will be happy to share anything I need to.

Hi,

I have a little problem that I can't seem to solve myself. My coding skills are very limited, just wanted to mention that  .

I have a list of rows, bascially banners that members submit. They have to be manually approved by me before they are put on air. So to quicken up
this process I made this little code in my admin panel.


$bq = mysql_query("SELECT id, usrid, bname, burl, btarget  FROM ban_rotator WHERE status = 'Waiting'");
$pb = mysql_num_rows($bq);
if ($_GET['ap']) 
{ 
$bid = $_GET['ap'];
  mysql_query("UPDATE ban_rotator SET status = 'Active' WHERE id = '$bid'");


It works perfectly except for one thing. It will always show the banner I just approved in addition to the remaining ones that are waiting. Any tips would be appreciated. I have to add that this code is a part of a fairly large admin panel php file.

Just realized i need a bit more explanation. If I hit refresh in the browser the one I just approved will be gone. As I would like it to be after hitting Approve on the banner in question. If I just approve the second banner (after approving the first), the first will be gone from the list of waiting and the second will still show until I either hit approve on the third or hit refresh in the brower.

hi all,   Firstly I am new to the php language, hopefully this is not a silly question or a no brainer.   I have looked over my code.. and for some reason when I insert data from a cms into a mySql database thers two fields that swop around..   HERES THE CODE IM WORKING WITH :

<?php

//if form has been submitted process it
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

		$_POST = array_map( 'stripslashes', $_POST );

		//collect form data
		extract($_POST);

		//very basic validation
		if($title ==''){
			$error[] = 'Please enter the title.';
		}


		if(!isset($error)){

			try {

				//insert into database
				$stmt = $handler->prepare('INSERT INTO event_calendar (title,event_date,description) VALUES (:title, :description, :event_date)') ;
				$stmt->execute(array(
					':title' => $title,
					':description' => $description,
					':event_date' => date('Y-m-d')
				));

				//redirect to index page
				header('Location: index.php?action=added');
				exit;

			} catch(PDOException $e) {
			    echo $e->getMessage();
			}

		}

	}

	//check for any errors
	if(isset($error)){
		foreach($error as $error){
			echo '<p class="error">'.$error.'</p>';
		}
	}
	?>
	<form action='' method='post'>

		<p><label>Title</label>	<input type='text' name='title' value='<?php if(isset($error)){ echo $_POST['title'];}?>'></p>

		<p><label>Description</label><br />
		<textarea name='description' cols='50' rows='5'><?php if(isset($error)){ echo $_POST['description'];}?></textarea></p>

		<p><label>Date of Event : (y-m-d) :</label><input name="event_date" type="date" value='<?php if(isset($error)){ echo $_POST['event_date'];}?>'></p>

		<p><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'></p>

	</form>

Could anyone please just look through it.. My database structure is simple.. id, title, description, event_date Thanks in advance  

G'day all, i've got this script that I found on the net some time back but not entirely sure where, however it works well except I want to add a feature so it shows the image details from a txt file. Here is the gallery script:

<?php

function getDirectory( $path = '.', $level = 0 ){ 
    $ignore = array( 'cgi-bin', '.', '..' ); 
    $dh = @opendir( $path ); 
    while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ){ 
        if( !in_array( $file, $ignore ) ){ 
            if( is_dir( "$path/$file" ) ){ 
$dir = $path . $file; 
                echo "<h2>$file</h2><p>"; 
                $dh1 = @opendir( $dir ); 
                while( false !== ( $image = readdir( $dh1 ) ) ){ 
                    if( !in_array( $image, $ignore ) ){ 
                        if( !is_dir( "$dir/$image" ) ){ 
      if (preg_match("/.jpg/", $image)) {
echo "<a href=\"$dir/$image\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img src=\"gallery-thumbnail.php?file=$file/$image\" border=2 style='border-color: #981C1E'></a>\n"; 
}
                        } 
                    } 
                } 
echo "</p>";
                $level++; 
            } 
        } 
    } 
    closedir( $dh ); 
} 
getDirectory('gallery/'); 
?>


Now, what i'm wanting is to read a txt file either in the root or 'gallery' directory, where it has the file name, title, description, photographer. (something like filename.jpg|title of image|description about image|J King).
so when the image is displayed, a script reads the text file and will show the image info beside it.

Now i've got this bit of snippet from an old script I used once, but can't seem to get it to work anywhere, so any help is greatly appreciated.

$text = "gallery.txt";

$fh=fopen($text, "r"); 

while(!feof($fh)) 
{ 
  $temp = explode("|", $line); 
  $title[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
  $description[$temp[0]] = $temp[2];
  $photographer[$temp[0]] = $temp[3];
  $line=fgets($fh); 
  unset($temp); 
} 

I would like to be able to have my meta data pick out the information of a page and insert it into the meta tags.
I have a controller class which has the coding to get the data, which is this:
controller.class.php
Code: [Select]
function get_title(){

$title='';

if (isset($this->_params['item']['meta_title'])  && !empty($this->_params['item']['meta_title'])){

$title=$this->_params['item']['meta_title'];


}

$title=strip_tags($title);

$title=str_replace('"', '\'', $title);

$title=trim($title);

if (strlen($title)>150){

$end_of_last_sentence=strpos($title, '.', 150)+1;

if ($end_of_last_sentence<150){

$end_of_last_sentence=150;

}

$title=substr($title, 0, $end_of_last_sentence);

}

return $title;
}


function get_description(){


$description='';

if (isset($this->_params['item']['meta_description'])  && !empty($this->_params['item']['meta_description'])){

$description=$this->_params['item']['meta_description'];

}

$description=strip_tags($description);

$description=str_replace('"', '\'', $description);

$description=trim($description);

if (strlen($description)>150){

$end_of_last_sentence=strpos($description, '.', 150)+1;

if ($end_of_last_sentence<150){

$end_of_last_sentence=150;

}

$description=substr($description, 0, $end_of_last_sentence);

}

return $description;

}


function get_keywords(){

$keyword='';

if (isset($this->_params['item']['meta_keyword'])  && !empty($this->_params['item']['meta_keyword'])){

$keyword=$this->_params['item']['meta_keyword'];


}

$keyword=strip_tags($keyword);

$keyword=str_replace('"', '\'', $keyword);

$keyword=trim($keyword);

if (strlen($keyword)>150){

$end_of_last_sentence=strpos($keyword, '.', 150)+1;

if ($end_of_last_sentence<150){

$end_of_last_sentence=150;

}

$keyword=substr($keyword, 0, $end_of_last_sentence);

}

return $keyword;
}


Then I have a pages.controller which has the coding for the home page

pages.controller.php
Code: [Select]
public function home(){
//instantiate a model
$galleries_model = new galleries_model('galleries');
$galleries = $galleries_model -> get_all();


foreach($galleries as $gallery){


//how to loop through an image so that only the first
//image is selected
$sql = "SELECT image_path FROM gallery_images
WHERE
gallery_id = {$gallery['id']}
ORDER BY order_by";

$image = $this->_model->get_one($sql);

$gallery['image'] = $image;
$this->_params['list'][] = $gallery;

}

$this->_params['item'] = $this->_model->get(array("pages.name = 'home'"));

}

Code: [Select]
galleries.controller.php
public function galleries(){

$galleries = $this->_model->get_all();


$this->_params['list'] = $galleries;


}

public function view($gallery_id){

$this->_params['item'] = $this->_model->get($gallery_id);

$this->_params['item'] ;
//die;

}
   

This is my default page where I want the meta tags to echo out the relevent information

default.php
Code: [Select]
!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>
<title><?php echo $this->get_title(); ?></title>
<meta name="Description" content="<?php echo $this->get_description(); ?>" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="<?php echo $this->get_keywords(); ?>" />
<title>Welcome to the Framework</title>
<?php
$this->_page->add_javascript('/vendor/lightbox/js/jquery.lightbox-0.5.min.js');
$this->_page->add_stylesheet('/vendor/lightbox/css/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css');
echo $this->page('stylesheets');
echo $this->page('javascripts');
?>

</head>
<body>


<h1>
Welcome to the My site
</h1>


<?php echo $this->page('view');?>
</body>
</html>

In the pages.controller.php  I managed to get it to work using $this->_params['item'] = $this->_model->get(array("pages.name = 'home'"));

I want to be able to do the same thing on different pages but I can't get it to work.

I hope I explained it clearly.

Thank you

Ok so i'm not a programmer of any kind however I'm trying to enter what I believe is HTML generated metadata into the header.php of my wordpress theme

here is how the wordpress header reads

?>
<!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" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
    <title><?php
   if ( is_single() ) { single_post_title(); }       
        elseif ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | '; bloginfo('description'); get_page_number(); }
        elseif ( is_page() ) { single_post_title(''); }
        elseif ( is_search() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | Search results for ' . wp_specialchars($s); get_page_number(); }
        elseif ( is_404() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | Not Found'; }
        else { bloginfo('name'); wp_title('|'); get_page_number(); }
    ?></title>
      
   
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

AND HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO PLACE I just don't know where I put it.  It gives me Syntax errors when I paste just above the last title tag....does it need to be in php form and if so how do i change it?  thanks for anyones help, sorry if this is a lame question but I've been slapping my head against a wall for 4 hours now

hello guys, i have a php website, which is: www.hireasunbed.co.uk

the middle is like an iframe but im wondering how can i get each catagory have diffrent meta keywords and descriptions. Is this possible?

I am using a script that get the field names from a table in a database. It works, however, when I try to remove the underscore(_) from the name. I get an error message.

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in C:\xampp\htdocs\CMS\admin\includes\get_table.php on line 76


This is the section of code that I am using it with
Code: [Select]
$i = 2;
        while ($i < mysql_num_fields($fieldnamesquery_result)) {
            $meta = mysql_fetch_field($fieldnamesquery_result, $i);

// This is the line of code that I am having problems with
$meta.name = str_replace("_", " ", $meta.name);

            if (!$meta) {
                echo "No information available";
            }

            $tablecolumn .= "<p>" . $meta->name . ":<input type='text' name='" . $meta->name . "' id='" . $meta->name . "'/></p>";
            $i++;

Hi guys, I have a problem with my code. It connects with the database but it doesn't execute anything. I am trying to update a value in a table but I really don't know what I am doing wrong. I am trying to change the price based on the meta_value GF-1370 Thank you very much.   Here is Table (Taken from myphpadmin) meta_id  post_id  meta_key  meta_value 18538 4356 _sku GF-1370 18541 4356 _price 2.343   and here is my code:

 <?php 
$link = mysql_connect('server', 'username', 'password'); 
if (!$link) { 
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); 
} 
echo 'Connected successfully'; 
mysql_select_db(wordpress_i12dhflgoa);
$sql="update `wp_pzvy_postmeta` set `_price` = 5 WHERE `_sku` = 'GF-1370'";
?>  

I have a page with an iframe in it like so.

<iframe src="page.php" width="100" height="100"></iframe>

The page.php file, I have a meta refresh in it.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=http://www.blah.com">

Now when I load the website, it doesn't refresh the page.php iframe. It just stays loaded without refreshing. How can I reload an iframe without the user clicking on a link inside the iframe??

I also tried a header redirect but that didn't work.
Thanks.

How do you give pages that are generated using the _Get method it's own meta tags?

Not sure if I'm explaining this properly so allow me to elaborate:

When a visitor clicks on an article on my site, they get redirected to a new page (index.php?action=article1) within the original page (index.php). Now, since it's more or less the same page, the meta tags are the same, but I was wondering if there is a way I could make it to where each article has it's own unique tags so when a visitor, for instance, clicks "share on facebook", the title and description of that article appears.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, is there a way to do this?
