How do I set meta tags using php in a Magento module?

Question

This doesn't work in my .phtml file.

$head = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head');
$head->setTitle("title blah");
$head->setDescription("description goes here");
$head->setKeywords("apples bananas coconuts");

Answer 1

I believe you are going to want to put that code into your controller, not your view files.
