    Hi guys, having a little trouble replacing keywords and descriptions...

    Layout.php
    	echo "<meta name='keywords' content='".$keywords."' />";
	echo "<meta name='description' content='".$description."' />";
    PHP:
    Replace page
    <?
$title = 'My title tag for this page';
$keywords = 'my keywords';
$description = 'my description';

?>
    PHP:
    When I view the source code I get
    <meta name='keywords' content='' /><meta name='description' content='' />
    PHP:
    I really can't work out why it doesn't work so if someone could help I will be really grateful. I didn't notice until the site got indexed in Google, disaster! Lol well at least I spotted it relatively soon!

    Maybe "$keywords = 'my keywords';" is AFTER the meta tags?

    Thanks tihan but I'm including a layout file, and I need to have different titles and keywords for each page. I'll try using an if statement instead maybe something like:

    function ShowHeader($Title,$MetaDesc){$DefTitle = "Show me when title is blank";$DefMetaDesc = "Show me when Meta Desc is blank";if($Title=="")$Title=$DefTitle;if($MetaDesc=="")$MetaDesc=$DefMetaDesc;//header stuff goes here}
    PHP:
