Ladies/Gents:
I recently applied a patch that fixes the multi-line get_meta_tags bug. A
tag like this would fail:
<meta name="keywords"
content="this is my content>
Now it doesn't. However, I received emails about other bugs that exist in
it, for example, it doesn't read the HTTP-EQUIV attribute. I couldn't think
of a way to implement it that would allow for that data to be returned. But
here is the solution that I will implement, but I wanted to check with the
rest of you first.
get_meta_tags() will now return a multi-dimensional array. Here is a sample
document:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;http://www.php.net/">
<meta name="keywords" content="hello" lang="en">
<meta name="keywords" content="hola" lang="es">
And here is what I propose we return to the user:
$returnval[0]["name"] == NULL
$returnval[0]["http-equiv"] == "refresh"
$returnval[0]["content"] == "10;http://www.php.net/"
$returnval[0]["scheme"] == NULL
$returnval[0]["lang"] == NULL
$returnval[0]["dir"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["name"] == "keywords"
$returnval[1]["http-equiv"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["content"] == "hello"
$returnval[1]["scheme"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["lang"] == "en"
$returnval[1]["dir"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["name"] == "keywords"
$returnval[1]["http-equiv"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["content"] == "hola"
$returnval[1]["scheme"] == NULL
$returnval[1]["lang"] == "es"
$returnval[1]["dir"] == NULL
This will break backwards compatibility, and I am not really in favor of
adding a new param to get_meta_tags in order to include this new
functionality, that will just obfuscate the code more than it needs to be.
I think we should just change one implementation, to another, better one. I
can't imagine that that many people are using this tag often enough to
require a huge change in their code.
Anyway, let me know what you all think.
Thanks
