Question

In the processPage function below, I’m grabbing the keywords from the keywords metatag of each URL processed. I need to alter the preg_split so that it only pulls the first three words of any keyword cluster.

For example, given this keywords meta tag:

<meta name="keywords" content="this is too long, this is not, keyword three" />

I only want the “this is too” part of the first keyword cluster.

Also, if the total list of keyword phrases is longer than 10, I only want to pull the first 10 keyword phrases from the list.

ie, (keyword phrase 1, kw 2, kw 3, kw4, etc…, keyword phrase 10)

Any help much appreciated.

<?php

class ResultPage
{
    function __construct($siteurl){$this->url = $siteurl;$this->processPage();}

    public $url;
    public $title;
    public $html;
    public $plainText;
    public $wordList;
    public $keywords = array();

    function processPage(){
        $this->html = rseo_keywordSearch_scrapePage($this->url);
        $dom = str_get_html($this->html);
        $metakws = $dom->find('meta[name=keywords]');
        if(count($metakws)){
            $metakw = $metakws[0];
            if($metakw->content){
                $this->keywords = preg_split("/[\s]*[,][\s]*/",$metakw->content); //EDIT HERE
                }
            }
        }

    public function GetResults(){
        return rseo_keyword_getCountArray($this->wordList);
    }

Answer 1

This is a bit easier matching rather than splitting, e.g.:

preg_match_all('/(?<=^|,)\s*((?:[^\s,]+\s*){1,3})/', $metakw->content, $m);
$this->keywords = array_slice($m[1], 0, 10);

print_r($this->keywords);

/*
Array
    (
        [0] => this is too 
        [1] => this is not
        [2] => keyword three
    )
*/
