Hello, I am trying to make a PHP script to index my site and insert into a MySQL DB the .htm files path, its Title (from the HTML tags <Title></Title>), its Description (from the meta tag <meta name="description" content="..."> ) and its Keywords (from the meta tag <meta name="keywords" content="..."> ). Well, I adapted this function to get the Title and it works great!!: /* * Given a raw html document (as string), return its title. * This function may need to be modified if your web pages use automatically * generated titles. */ function getTitle(&$doc) { if (eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $doc, $titlematch)) $title = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " , $titlematch[1])); else $title = ""; if ($title == "") $title = "Sem Título"; return $title; } I then tried to do something similar to get the Description: function getDescription(&$doc) { if (eregi('<meta name="description" content="(.*)">', $doc, $descr)) $descricao = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " , $descr[1])); else $descricao = ""; if ($descricao == "") $descricao = "Sem Descrição"; return $descricao; } This doesn't work as intended... It returns the whole page starting after content=" and doesn't end at the end of the string (">). The funny thing is that if I add a space on the end of the string like this (" >) in both the PHP code and in the HTML file (<meta name="description" conten="test with a space" >), the function returns only the string of the description as intended... The same thing happens with the Keywords: function getKeywords(&$doc) { if (eregi('<meta name="keywords" content="(.*)">', $doc, $mykeys)) $keywords = trim(eregi_replace("[[:space:]]+", " " , $mykeys[1])); else $keywords = ""; if ($keywords == "") $keywords = "Sem Keywords"; return $keywords; } But this time I nedded two (2) spaces to make the function work!!! (<meta name="description" conten="test with 2 spaces" >), If I used one or no space it returned the whole page... with 2 spaces the function works... I concluded that the regex pattern (.*) doesn't stops looking on the "> and needs a space between them (" >). But why the second time it nedded 2 spaces!? I don't want to have to change all the HTM files from my site and add a space to the Descritpion Meta Tag and 2 spaces to the Keywords Meta... Is there a way to say to the (.*) to end the search at the "> ?
