Function to pull meta descriptions from urls and post to database.


Recommended Posts

I am trying to pull about ten titles and meta descriptions from different urls through a function. I am able to get them to echo and show on a webpage, however what I would like to do is take all that data and insert it into a database. If anyone could tell me how to get each one to post to a database that would be great. Thanks.

Below is what I have, but it is not posting all the data to the database.

require '/home2/file.php';
error_reporting(0);
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
function meta($type,$url,$name)
{
                if(  ereg("^((http|https|ftp)://)?(((www\.)?[^ ]+\.[com|org|net|edu|gov|us])|([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+))([^ ]+)?$", $url) == true)

                {
                     $chopped = parse_url($url);
                    $host = $chopped[host];
                    $page = $url;
                    $contents = implode(' ', file($page));
                    if($contents)
	    
                    {
	    
                    if(eregi('<title[^>]*>([^<]*)</title[^>]*>', $contents, $regs)) 
	    
	    {
		$title = trim(ereg_replace('[[:space:]]+', ' ', $regs[1]));
		$metaTags = get_meta_tags($url);
		$description = $metaTags['description'];
		$sql="INSERT INTO resources ('type','url','name','title','description') VALUES('$type','$url','$name','$title','$description')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

                    }
	    
                    }
                
                }
			}
