You are confusing files and pages. Files reside on the server, pages are
sent to the user's browser. Many php files will usually be executed in order
to produce one page on the browser. PHP enables you to output dynamically
created html to the browser. So, as long as the contents of the title and
meta tags (or possibly even the tags themselves) are not hard coded into the
index.php, but are written out on demand by a php program, you are not
limited to one title and one meta tag.
Take a look at any Joomla! installation. All pages are served by calling a
single index.php file but the page title will change with every page.
If the site has been coded with this data hard coded in the index.php file
then this is a design/programming error. You need to change the
designer/programmer.
Hope this helps.
