Here’s a Quick Way to Have A Different Title Tag For Each Page

The header of each page in any website must be unique, this is one of the most important aspects of SEO, but when you’re running a big site with hundreds of articles having a unique header for every page will be impossible without a dynamic header.

I would like to share a snippet I sometimes use to accomplish this task. The function consists of the HTML tags we use in every page such as the meta, title, and favicon tag. Important: Notice that I do not close the tag, this is because some pages use different styles or scripts. Feel free to modify the function.

Function Description

We begin by creating a class called ” Page “, we’ll save the file as ‘PageClass.php’ 

class Page
{
 // the function code will go here
}

The function takes an array called ” headerParams ” for the parameter. This parameter consists of the following keys; “title”,”keywords” and “description”.

This is the class and function put together. 

class Page
{
 // a function with common header tags

 function header($headerParams)
  {
   echo'
   <html>
    <head>
     <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
     <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
     <meta name="description" content="'.$headerParams['description'].'" />
     <meta name="keywords" content="'.$headerParams['keywords'].'" />
     <title>'.$headerParams['title'].'</title>
     <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
  ';
 }
}

The keys will be given values in your page as follows: 

$header['title']='welcome WebHole';
//remember that keywords are separated with comas
$header['keywords']='seo, web development, free code';
$header['description']='We are a website built to help web developers. Find free code, reviews and news';

Let’s put it all together 

// include the class we created
include 'PageClass.php';

// assign values to the header array
$header['title']='welcome WebHole';

// remember that keywords are separated with comas
$header['keywords']='seo, web development, free code';
$header['description']='We are a website built to help web developers. Find free code, reviews and news';

// create a Page object

$Page=new Page();

// out put the header:
// we pass the $header array to the function header of the object Page
// the result will be the header code inside the header() function
$Page->header($header);

I hope you found this script useful.
