Re: PHP meta tags in CMS posts.

Greetings Ashley,

Fret not.

Source code is here: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/FfF4EMEX#link

Based on this course: 
https://www.udemy.com/course/php-for-beginners-/?couponCode=LETSLEARNNOWPP

It is PHP, mySQL and Bootstrap, all built-from-scratch. No framework. No 
composer. Nothing.

I have the site deployed and working, but with some missing functionality.

Narcis intuited quite well, though.
