Anyone tell me how to create meta tags in 1 page and link them across other pages?

[man5]

For instance, say I have a metas.php file.  It includes the meta tags for 20 other pages in the website.  What is the best way to generate relevant meta tags from metas.php and into 20 individual pages?

Whats a meta tag?

You can always a header.inc.php of some kind  and just include at the top of you web pages:

 

For example:

<?php
require('lib/includes/utilities.inc.php');
include 'lib/includes/header.inc.php';
?>

You can also do something like this (although a little more elaborate in your case) inside the header.inc.php file:

if (preg_match("/J.R. Pepp | Website Design/i", $pageTitle)) {
  $metaDesc = '<meta name="description" content="J.R. Pepp is a Website Design and Development Company based in Livonia, Michigan.">';
}

That way all you meta tags (elements)  will be on every page and appropriate depending on the page.

 

An for the question what is a meta tag?

 

"Meta elements are the HTML or XHTML <meta … > element used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Multiple Meta elements with different attributes are often used on the same page. ..."
