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.

Thank you!

Dynamically change page title and meta tags when using include($_GET["page"].".html");

Asked by AndrewShanklin in PHP Scripting Language, PHP Frameworks

Hi,

I am in need of some help with my site.

It is currently setup so that you access the url e.g. www.yoursite.com and this using an index.php file redirects to:

www.yoursite.com/site.php?page=Home

The Site.php file includes all the usual meta data and css at the top and then at around line 52 has the code:

<?php
$allowed = array("Home","Contact","Sales");
if(in_array($_GET["page"],$allowed)) {
 include("Header.html");
 include($_GET["page"].".html");
} else {
 die("Error Page Not On Approved List!");}
?>

and so if you access: www.yoursite.com/site.php?page=Contact the contact page will be loaded.

The problem I have is that I need to have custom title and meta details based on whatever page is loaded.

Currently only the title and meta details from the Site.php are shown throughout the site.

I have looked into all of the usual php of:

<title><?php echo($title);?></title>
and in each page including:

<?php
$title = "Page title";
?>

But the issue is that because the pages are called after the title tag the "$title = "Page title";" code from each page is never referenced in the title .

Does anyone have any ideas and if so can they provide the code that will still allow me to use the "/site.php?page=" format but have dynamic title and meta data based on the page.

Many thanks in advance.

Andy.
