Php get meta tags help

i just used any website.. i can't get the meta tags though... what am i doing wrong? i get these error messages..

Warning: get_meta_tags() [function.get-meta-tags]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/ustackc1/public_html/menu.php on line 78

Warning: get_meta_tags(http://www.realgm.com/) [function.get-meta-tags]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/ustackc1/public_html/menu.php on line 78


if its something to do with my host, what is another easy way to do this?

I haven't used this myself but it simply sounds like the get_meta_tag function is not enabled by your web host.

thx.. is there another way to get meta tags then?.. i been stuck on this for like a week lol

I remember reading something you posted about something sort of similar.

You could even try something like this:

Although everyone has different ways of writing meta tags...

Ask your host about the error you had... they might be able to enable or resolve your remote file access/meta tag problem quite easily... But then again most hosts can be annoying

it does have something to do with your host. you host has url file access set to off. it just means that any function that needs to read a file such as fopen or file_get_contents only work locally and not on urls. You can try other functions like file_get_contents if you want to on a url. if that works then you could probably read the string in and either parse it yourself to get the meta tags or save it to a file temporarily then read the meta tags.
