laravel only takes the first character in the string

I am using Laravel 4.2 and am attempting to pull a string from the a database column named $meta_title and save that string as the meta tag in the view. It should work like this: 

$meta_title = 'Star Wars is Better than Star Trek';

$meta_title is pulled from the database in the controller and sent to the view via an array

<meta property="og:title" content= {{ $meta_title }}  {{ '>' }} 
<meta property="og:title" content="Star Wars is Better than Star Trek">

but instead it does this:

<meta property="og:title" content="Star" wars="" is="" better="" than="" star="" trek="">

How can I fix the code so that the the meta tag looks like this:

<meta property="og:title" content="Star Wars is Better than Star Trek">

after the string is pulled from the database?

You need to put {{ $meta_title }} inside double quote 

<meta property="og:title" content="{{ $meta_title }}">

From your code, after it renders to html it will look like this

<meta property="og:title" content= Star Wars is Better than Star Trek  >

That is why you got a weird output.

What happens when you do this?

<meta property="og:title" content= "{{ $meta_title }}" >
