Dynamic title tags header.php

[TechGirl00]

Hello group,

 

Apologies if this has been asked. I have a site that is generating pages like this:

http://www.example.com/index.php?title_page=products_info&cPath=143&products_id=001

http://www.example.com/index.php?title_page=RFEE_SaaS_Cloud_Services

http://www.example.com/index.php?title_page=customer_inquiry&src=mnu

 

I want to create dynamic meta data in the header.php

ex:

<title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pageDescription; ?>">

 

I'm new to the more advanced functions of php so my question is... where are the values for $pageTitle and $pageDescription stored if every page seems to reference index.php as the page (although there might be dynamic functionality within this page I suppose)? I could understand if the pages referenced were all different like products.php, services.php, etc. I'm looking at the URLs generated on the site and am trying to figure this out.

 

Thanks.

It is possible that the data is in a database. So, if for example we are displaying a product page the rwo in the database for the product might have fields like this:

Product_name: Flying pig.
Price: 9.99
Product_desc: A pig with wings.
meta_desc: The only place to buy this. Not yet available. Will become available when pigs fly.
keywords: OMG, Way Cool, pig, pork, feathers

You first read the db, then render the page.
