putting meta tag inside the head tag using php.

Hi guys,

I have the following codes of php. what it does was open the file myhtml.html and then puts a meta tag inside the html and then save the file.

PHP Code:


$doc = new DOMDocument("1.0");

$doc->loadHTMLFile("myhtml.html");



$node = $doc->createElement("meta");

$newnode = $doc->appendChild($node);

$newnode->setAttribute("name","description");

$newnode->setAttribute("content", "just a test descriptionzzz");

$xx = $newnode->getAttribute("content");

$doc->saveHTMLFile("myhtml.html");

but when i checked the myhtml.html file the code was like this :

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">    <title>this is ok with me</title>
</head> 
<body>
    <div id="main-content">sample content of the edited html.</div>
    <span name="spsp">hello world!</span>
</body>
</html>
<meta name="description" content="just a test descriptionzzz">

which makes the meta tag i put into the file outside the html tag. how can i make it inside the head tag? anyone please.. thanks in advance.

PHP Code:


    $doc = new DOMDocument("1.0");

    $doc->loadHTMLFile("myhtml.html");

    

    $head = document.getElementsByTagName ('head')->item(0);

    $meta = $head->appendChild ($doc->createElement ('meta'));

    $meta->setAttribute("name","description");

    $meta->setAttribute("content", "just a test descriptionzzz");

Or something more like that.

although the line :

PHP Code:


$head = document.getElementsByTagName ('head')->item(0);

should instead be :

PHP Code:


$head = $doc->getElementsByTagName('head')->item(0);

thank you so much charles!

Sorry about that. I had a bit of JavaScript floating about in my head.
