PHPQuery not extracting meta details into Array

Question

I am experimenting with PHPQuery (https://code.google.com/p/phpquery/) to scrape data from my website. I want to extract meta information from a page.

Here is what I have tried so far :

$html = phpQuery::newDocumentHTML($file, $charset = 'utf-8');

$MetaItems = [];
foreach (pq('meta') as $keys) {
    $names = trim(strtolower(pq($keys)->attr('name')));
    if ($names !== null && $names !== '') {
        array_push($MetaItems, $names);
    }
}
            
for ($i=0; $i < count($MetaItems); $i++) {
    $test = 'meta[name="' . $MetaItems[$i] . '"]';
    echo pq($test)->html();
}

Above : In $MetaItems I get all the meta attribute name.This array is filled correctly.

But selecting and extracting text is not working. How do i get the above code to work? Thanks.

You want an assoc array with name => content, correct? Try this:

$metaItems = array();
foreach(pq('meta') as $meta) {
  $key = pq($meta)->attr('name');
  $value = pq($meta)->attr('content');
  $metaItems[$key] = $value;
}

var_dump($metaItems);
