Solution

  • The answer is in the documentation:

    http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-meta-tags.php

    Note:

    Only meta tags with name attributes will be parsed. Quotes are not required.

    To get all the meta tags, you will probably have to parse the HTML yourself. You can use a parser like Simple HTML DOM or similar.
