The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

dynamically populate header meta content with php/mysql

Asked by nascent1 in Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: meta, php, dynamically, header

I want to generate meta tags for my header using info stored in my database. Specifically, I want to be able to pull the title and description info from the table and have that info placed appropriately into the meta tags.

This is the table set up I have:

CREATE TABLE `articles` (
`id` bigint(24) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(150) NOT NULL default '',
`summary` text NOT NULL,
`description` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`body` text NOT NULL,
`parent` bigint(24) NOT NULL default '0',
`seoname` varchar(150) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `title` (`title`),
KEY `seoname` (`seoname`),
KEY `parent` (`parent`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

and this is the portion of my index.php page dealing with the header area:

<?
include("common.php");
$mode = isset($_REQUEST['mode']) ? $_REQUEST['mode'] : '';

$query = "SELECT *
FROM articles";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($articles = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
$title = $articles->title;
$description = $articles->description;
}
?>

<html>
<head>
<meta name="title" content="<? echo "$title"; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<? echo "$description"; ?>">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

</head>

I have 2 pages set up for testing, each with appropriate info indicating page 1 or page 2, but the code I have above always places the information for page 2 in both page 1's and page 2's meta tags. How can I set this up so that each get their own info?

I'm pretty new at this and hope I've give you all the info you need, but if not, please let me know.
