Right, I seem to have not made myself too clear so I'll try again.
Originally, the page "add.php3" was using a plain HTML template called
"add_form.html" which consisted of a simple form. If you click on the link
above and have a look at the page, everything below Add Link was how it
started off. In the code below, it's everything after the </php> tag. Users
would just complete the form and press submit.
However, I decided instead of typing in certain fields, I wanted to autofill
the boxes so I found a PHP4 script which would grab meta-tags and embedded
it into the template. All PHP scripts have to be within <php></php> tags as
defined in a different part of the search engine script.
My problem is that whatever method I have tried, I have not managed autofil
the forms text boxes with values from the script in a one step process.
I first tried putting the HTML form in the script but this brought parsing
errors. Next I tried keeping the form in the HTML but trying to use
value=<?....?> statement. This again brought parsing errors or the code
simply appeared in the box.
Hope that makes a bit more sense.

// Include the function so you can use it later in the page

// Call the MetaEngine function and assign the return value to an array
$metaInfo = MetaEngine($url);
// Array index is not numbers but names, such as:
