Obtain website's description (meta) from ODP DMOZ.org using PHP

Question

I am working on a php website. What I want to do is to retireve description or meta information of websites. What I hope to do is to obtain the information from dmoz.org, is there a way of doing such a thing ?

If not, then what are other alternatives ? cURL ?

Many thanks,

EDIT:

Apparently my question wasn't clear. dmoz.org is open directory that gives you information about websites. The information given is different than the meta tags from the website itself. So what i want to do is getting such information..

Answer 1

PHP has a built-in function for extracting the meta information:

$tags = get_meta_tags('http://dmoz.org');
print_r($tags);
