So how can I actually use this, you ask? We're assuming you're using the form helper, url helper, and input library.. With that said, let's take a look...


$form  =  form_open('meta');

$form .= form_label('Valid URL: <br />', 'url');

$form .= form_input('url');

$form .= form_submit('submit', 'Grab the tags!');

$form .= form_close();



// Was the form submitted?

if($this->input->post('url'))

{

    $url = strtolower($this->input->post('url'));

    $results = grab_meta($url);



    // Let's see what's going on

    if(is_array($results))

    {

        echo  '<a name="results" id="results"></a><h6>' . $url . '</h6>';

        echo '<strong>URL:</strong>' . $results['url'];

        echo '<br />';

        echo '<strong>Title:</strong>' . $results['title'];

        echo '<br />';

        echo print_r($results['tags']);

        echo '<br />';

        echo $form;

    }

    else

    {

        echo "<h6>Invalid URL</h6>";



    }

}

else

{

    echo  $form;

}

Try It!
