I'm very new to programming so bear with me... My site is based on Wordpress, so I have an index page that says <?php get_header(); ?> and <?php include('pagecontent.php'); ?>... My header.php contains what you'd expect and pagecontent.php is actually a pretty complex page that grabs several variables from a database (for instance, $result->properties->name). I'm starting to integrate Facebook Connect plugins (the like button and comment box), and when I put PHP in my <meta> tags in the <head>, Facebook doesn't recognize the value of $result->properties->name... IF my php files were all the same, the relevant code would look like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
[REMOVED THE DIV TAG HERE]<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<?php
echo '<meta property="og:title" content="' . $result->properties->name . ' on Name of Site"/>';
echo '<meta property="og:type" content="movie"/>';
echo '<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>';
echo '<meta property="og:site_name" content="Name of Site"/>';
echo '<meta property="fb:admins" content="698461078"/>';
echo '<meta property="og:description" content="' . $result->properties->description . '"/>';
?>
</head>
<body>
[MOVED DIV TAG DOWN HERE]<div id="fb-root"></div><fb:like href="http://www.sitename.net/?sg=' . $sg_id . '&task=0" send="false" layout="button_count" width="450" show_faces="true" action="recommend" font="tahoma"></fb:like>
</body>
I tried to be as complete as possible to avoid guesswork :P This code gives liked pages the title " on Name of Site" instead of "Name of Movie on Name of Site". Why isn't it able to grab the variable? Is there something I can do to modify the meta tags from within pagecontent.php? Please don't be afraid to state the obvious things! Many thanks ;)
