    <p>I wonder if someone could shed some light on a issue i am experiencing. I am building an SEO tool that looks at a websites title and description meta tag. What I have experienced is that using </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $tags = get_meta_tags("https://twitter.com"); echo $tags['description']; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am getting the description returned in German </p> <blockquote> <p><em>"Verbinde Dich sofort mit den Dingen, die für Dich am wichtigsten sind. Folge Freunden, Experten, Lieblingsstars und aktuellen Nachrichten"</em></p> </blockquote> <p>and not in English</p> <blockquote> <p><em>"Instantly connect to what's most important to you. Follow your friends, experts, favorite celebrities, and breaking news."</em></p> </blockquote> <p>I also discovered that Bing.com I also have this issue with too. I tried this with Curl too and got the same result.</p> <p>This is what my curl code looked like,</p> <pre><code>&lt;? $header[] = "Cache-Control: max-age=0"; $header[] = "Connection: keep-alive"; $header[] = "Keep-Alive: 300"; $header[] = "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"; $header[] = "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5"; $header[] = "Pragma: "; // browsers keep this blank. function file_get_contents_curl($url) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } $html = file_get_contents_curl("https://twitter.com"); //parsing begins here: $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc-&gt;loadHTML($html); $nodes = $doc-&gt;getElementsByTagName('title'); //get and display what you need: $title = $nodes-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue; $metas = $doc-&gt;getElementsByTagName('meta'); for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $metas-&gt;length; $i++) { $meta = $metas-&gt;item($i); if($meta-&gt;getAttribute('name') == 'description') $description = $meta-&gt;getAttribute('content'); if($meta-&gt;getAttribute('name') == 'keywords') $keywords = $meta-&gt;getAttribute('content'); if($meta-&gt;getAttribute('language') == 'language'); $language = $meta-&gt;getAttribute('language'); } echo "Title: $title". '&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; echo "Description: $description". '&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; echo "Keywords: $keywords"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The curl response is running here => <a href="http://www.chillwebdesigns.co.uk/tools/4/test.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.chillwebdesigns.co.uk/tools/4/test.php</a></p> <p>Anyone ever come across this before?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
