I am building a website in PHP, from search engine point of view, if I use to keep my meta tag contents and page title in database.
Will the search engine spiders track my website or not?
Like for example on my home page I want to keep the Meta tag contents in database and use it like this e.g.

<Title><%=$home_page_title%></title>
<Meta name = “description” contents = “<%=$meta_description%>”>
<Meta name = “keywords” contents = “<%=$meta_keywords%>”>

This thing will work from search engine spider’s point of view?

Thanks.

Smith.

Welcome, Smith :hi:

Yes, it should show the spider what anyone would see when they view the source of the page -- the tag will be populated with the contents of that DB field.

However, I noticed that you're populating the home page's title with home_page_title, but the meta tag contents don't appear to be specific to the page. If what you're suggesting is putting the same meta description and keywords tags onto every page, the spiders will read it, but it won't do you much (if any) good. They should be unique for each page, just like the title.
