I looked at the source code for the site of a friend of mine and there was no keyword tag or description tag. Is that normal with PHP.
I am about to start learning how to use PHP and MYSQL by the way so you will be seeing alot of me I am sure.

Hi teksun, and welcome,

Are you saying you looked at the source code of your friends loaded PHP page?

If that's true, then what your looking at is just straight HTML. Some people use keyword and description tags, and some don't.

PHP is no different, some might use the tags, and some might not, but there's nothing special or unique about PHP and the use of these tags.

If you want my recommendation, I say take the ten seconds it takes, and write them. They can only help.

There's lot of discussion over the usefulness or uselessness of the tags, but that's for another forum [webmasterworld.com...]

But again, there's nothing special about them and PHP.
