Ummmm, yes, he can. I just described how that can be done.

I didn't say that the tags could be customized. But you *did* say
they couldn't be inserted at all. Which they obviously can.

Again -- there is no such "inability to add" tags in the HEAD
section. OK, they can't be customized. But let's back up a few
paragraphs, to where you said "there would be no way" to add them.
Of course there is.

If the prepended file is just HTML code, not a PHP script, then
it's not possible to use readfile() to insert any head tags that
may be desired.
