CodeIgniter: A Class/Library to help get meta tags from a web page?

Question

I am using codeigniter. I guess it doesn't matter which php framework I am using.

But before I write my own class is there another that has already been written that allows a user to get the page title and meta tags (keywords, descriptions) of any sit...if they have any.

Any sort of PHP class that does that would be great.

Thanks all

You should have a look at this class: PHP Simple HTML DOM it works this way:

include('simple_html_dom.php');
$html = file_get_html('http://www.codeigniter.com/');

echo $html->find('title', 0)->innertext; // get <title>

echo "<pre>";
foreach($html->find('meta') as $element)
       echo $element->name . " : " . $element->content  . '<br>'; //prints every META tag

echo "</pre>";
