I have created social links for the blog post in PHP but when I am sharing it's not showing that blog picture.
Every time when I am sharing a blog it's not sharing that blog description and blog image.
It's taking page image and Its meta description. How can I change the description for every new blog post which I am sharing?
This is the code of blog post sharing.
<div class="pro-bot-shar">
<h4>Share this post</h4>
<?php
$fb_url = $webpage_full_link. "blog-details?src=facebook&&row=".$blog_codea; //URL Blog Detail Facebook Link
$fb_link = urlencode($fb_url);
$twitter_url = $webpage_full_link. "blog-details?src=twitter&&row=".$blog_codea; //URL Blog Detail Twitter Link
$twitter_link = urlencode($twitter_url);
$linkedin_url = $webpage_full_link. "blog-details?src=linkedin&&row=".$blog_codea; //URL Blog Detail Linkedin Link
$linkedin_link = urlencode($linkedin_url);
$whatsapp_url = $webpage_full_link. "blog-details?src=whatsapp&&row=".$blog_codea; //URL Blog Detail Whatsapp Link
$whatsapp_link = urlencode($whatsapp_url);
?>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="sh-pro-shar sh-pro-face">
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.faceboo
k.com/sharer/sharer.php?href=<?php echo $fb_link; ?>"><img src="images/social/3.png" alt=""> Facebook</a>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="sh-pro-shar sh-pro-twi">
<a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/share?text=<?php echo $events_a_row['event_name']; ?>&url=<?php echo $twitter_link; ?>"><img src="images/social/2.png" alt=""> Twitter</a>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="sh-pro-shar sh-pro-link">
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=<?php echo $linkedin_link; ?>"><img src="images/social/1.png" alt=""> Linkedin</a>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="sh-pro-shar sh-pro-what">
<a target="_blank" href="whatsapp://send?text=<?php echo $whatsapp_link; ?>" data-action="share/whatsapp/share"><img src="images/social/6.png" alt=""> WhatsApp</a>
</div>

</ul>
</div>

This is a simple method to create social share buttons or icons in PHP with an MYSQL database. You can share only the link without description and blog post image. It depends on social share platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. Facebook allows to share the links only and after the share link, you can write a short description on Facebook. Facebook fetches description automatically. It's all depends on the social share networking site. Let's discuss twitter. You can share tags and page URLs with twitter sharing links. You can use the post title also.
<a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/share?text=Visit the link &url=<?php echo $baseUrl.$slug; ?>&hashtags=blog,technosmarter,programming,tutorials,codes,examples,language,development">
Output- Try the link

We can share only links and text on social share sites if they allow. Social sites fetch images automatically if possible. The social site helps to share links, text or tags. You can check share URLs for that.
If you want to set your meta description then follow the steps -
Select short description form MySQL database
Use meta description and echo the short description like this -
<head><meta name="description" content="<?php $postshortdesc ; ?>">
</head>
SEO part is more important for a blog. You can use HTML meta tags. In the example above, I used the meta description.

The blog system requires more than one table for operations. If you want to create a unique description for every single post then you have to create a column in your table.
1. Create a column in your blog table - blogDesc
2. Insert post with description. Create a text area for a short description.
3. Use this column for SEO purposes. Select data from the database and echo with meta description.
<head>
<meta name="description" content="<?php $blogDesc ; ?>">
</head>
In this way, you can create a unique description for each blog post.

Blog post images depend on the feature image and content images. Social sites fetch the image from your blog post page. You should use images with the blog posts. When you share blog posts on Facebook or another platform then social sites fetch images and descriptions from your blog post. Upload and attach unique images for different blog posts.
You should create a unique description for each blog post.
