Getting Started

For example, you have this simple meta data in your header.php template.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <meta name="url" content="Your Site Url here">
        <meta name="description" content="Your Site description here">
        <meta name="keywords" content="Your set of keywords for the page ">
        <meta name="author" content="John Doe">
        ................................
        <title>How to Dynamically Change Meta Tags in every Pages using PHP</title>
        <!-- css and scripts here -->
</head>

Code:

In order to create a unique meta data for another page and reuse your header.php template, do the ff. 1. Assign variables for your meta tag in your header.php. Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description; ?>">
        ............................
        <title>How to Dynamically Change Meta Tags in every Pages using PHP</title>
        <!-- css and scripts here -->
</head>

2. Edit the value of the variable in each landing page by declaring the variable first before declaring your header.php. Example:

<?php
          $description = "Your site description here";
          include 'header.php';
?>

You should now be able to create unique meta tags for your pages. That ends this tutorial. Happy Coding :)
