PHP, grab meta tag data

Question

Anyone know how you grab data from a HTML meta tag with PHP?

I want it to render the meta title and not the file title. Look at the orange text.

$tags = get_meta_tags('http://www.example.com/');

echo $tags['author'];       // name
echo $tags['keywords'];     // php documentation
echo $tags['description'];  // a php manual
echo $tags['geo_position']; // 49.33;-86.59

this will only return meta tags that have named values though
