Hi guys,
I'm redesigning my website, but for the <title> tag inside the header is there a way i can change this so it is different using php? what i want to do is make php search the page for the <h1> tags, and the data inbetween will be entered into the title tag (i will be using the <h1> tag as the as the heading you see on the page, but i also want to use it for the title you see in the browser window).
Sorry if thats confusing. Any help is apreicated, thanks.
variable substicution
set what ever you are going to make <h1> blah </h1> into a variable (I don't know how you planned to do this eg: if its coming from a database or a string search.
then just print <title> $variable_from_h1 </title>
It is Inevitable.....
you could get the page header and put it in.
<title> $_GET['page'] </title>
I've forgotten most my PHP but if you're using pages like that then you can retrieve the current page name, or just make a PHP file with a if else statement in it saying if($_GET['page'] == "News") { $variable = "News" } perhaps?
I'm not sure if were on the right tracks, let me just say i'm not all good with php.
the <h1> tag will be in the same page as the <title> tag, (well it won't be, but i'm just saying it to make it simpler for you guys to answer).
i know that inside the <title> tag there will be something like $_phpblah here, or something like that, but i'd like that to search through the page for the one and only <h1> tag, and inside of that tag to be copied into the <title> tag.
So..
the title tag will actually look like <title>$_php_stuff_here</title>
and the <h1> tag lower down will be like: <h1>Information page</h1>
So when the PHP page is launched, the title tag becomes "Information page".
Thanks
XA04,
I learnt some basic (and I do stress basic) html for some web application testing.
I managed to fetch content from a database, manipulate it and display it.
I also managed to search flat text files for data and display it.
This is the same principals - search the html/php page or variables and display it in the <title> tag.
I've forgot most of the php as I'm not a web developer and I only learnt the basics. I used the SAMS php book, I suggest you purchase it and after a couple of chapters I'd guess you'd find this no problem

The problem is that the <title> tag comes before the <h1> tag. You'd either need to set the h1 from the title (reverse it) or use JS to change the title once the page has been rendered.
I know HTML pretty well, but i only know PHP very basicly. The most advance thing i've done is probably fetching something from mysql and putting it into a page.Originally Posted by ikonia
PHP Code:<?php
$title = 'Some Information';
echo '<html><head><title>'.$title.'</title></head><body><h1>'.$title.'</h1>Rest of content</body></html>';
That looks right, thanks.
I'll play around with it a little, see if i can get it to how i want.

Edit:
I'm using PHP to use includes on the page, and it coughs up errors on the include lines, any ideas?
Thanks.

Edit2:
Nvm, sorted, i just had to end the echo at the PHP includes part. and start it again after.
