    php doesn't have meta tags. php is a server side language. It can _output_ html and you can put your meta tags in there the same way you would in normal html.

    You can write anything you want in php by writing it within <?php and ?> tags.
    for example you can write any html tag like
    <? echo "<b>This is bold formatted text</b>"; ?>
    or you may use your meta tags as
    <? echo "<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="description of your website.">"; ?>

      and you also need to, what they call, "escape" the inner double quotes like:
      <? echo "<META NAME=\"Description\" CONTENT=\"description of your website.\">"; ?>

      or use surround the whole thing in single quotes like: <? echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="description of your website.">'; ?>

    Can be done easily if you simply echo meta tags through php.

    if you are trying to dynamically create them you would make a function the gets passed the page url, then returns the matching meta data.

    <title><?php echo $title ?></title>
    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description; ?>" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keywords ?>" />

    Its very simple, First insert relavent title, description and keywords for each page, set a unique key. Then pass the unique key in the query string.

    Fetch the query string value and select the title, description and key words related to the fetched query string value.

    This will do the dynamic meta tags for any php pages.

    Thank you.
