PHP Meta Tags

HTML meta tags generator for PHP. Supports Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and JSON Linked Data out of the box.

Installation

composer require pedroborges/meta-tags

Basic Usage

Create a new MetaTags instance then you are ready to start adding meta tags:

use PedroBorges\MetaTags\MetaTags;

$tags = new MetaTags;

// <title>My Awesome Site</title>
$tags->title('My Awesome Site');

// <meta name="description" content="My site description">
$tags->meta('description', 'My site description');

// <link rel="canonical" href="https://pedroborg.es">
// <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://en.pedroborg.es">
$tags->link('canonical', 'https://pedroborg.es');
$tags->link('alternate', [
'hreflang' => 'en',
'href' => 'https://en.pedroborg.es'
]);

// <meta property="og:title" content="The Title">
// <meta property="og:type" content="website">
// <meta property="og:url" content="https://pedroborg.es">
// <meta property="og:image" content="https://pedroborg.es/cover.jpg">
$tags->og('title', 'The title');
$tags->og('type', 'website');
$tags->og('url', 'https://pedroborg.es');
$tags->og('image', 'https://pedroborg.es/cover.jpg');

// <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
// <meta name="twitter:site" content="@pedroborg_es">
$tags->twitter('card', 'summary');
$tags->twitter('site', '@pedroborg_es');

// <script type="application/ld+json">
// {
//     "@context": "http://schema.org",
//     "@type": "Person",
//     "name": "Pedro Borges"
// }
// </script>
$tags->jsonld([
    '@context' => 'http://schema.org',
    '@type': 'Person',
    'name': 'Pedro Borges'
]);

When you are ready to output them, use the render method inside your template <head> element:

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <?php echo $tags->render() ?>

You can also render only one tag:

    <?php echo $tags->render('title') ?>

Or specify which tags to render:

    <?php echo $tags->render(['og', 'twitter', 'json-ld']) ?>

By default Meta Tag will indent the tags with 4 spaces and use the following order:

<title>
<meta> (General)
<meta property="og:*"> (Open Graph)
<meta name="twitter:*"> (Twitter Cards)
<link>
<script type="application/ld+json"> (JSON-LD)

You can change that when instantiating the MetaTag class:

use PedroBorges\MetaTags\MetaTags;

$tags = new MetaTags("\t", ['meta', 'title', 'link', 'og', 'twitter', 'json-ld']);
