php title

[shimmeringgraphix]

If using php includes how would I go about having an individual title for each page. In the main header.php I have
<title>Shimmering Graphix.com-<?php echo $title; ?></title>

Then on a individual page I have
<?php $title='Retro Myspace Layouts!'; ?>

But it doesn't work....Help?

[Kasami2k4]

<?phpecho "<title>".(isset($title)?$title:"shimmering graphix."</title>\n";?>

Then on individual page

<?php
$title = "title here";
include('header.php');
?>

what error is it throwing?

make sure you have your include at the top of the page before anything else, that way you know that $title is being set before you use it.

[shimmeringgraphix]

<?phpecho "<title>".(isset($title)?$title:"shimmering graphix."</title>\n";?>

Then on individual page

<?php
$title = "title here";
include('header.php');
?>


got this error


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/shimmer/public_html/header.php on line 7

try this



<?php echo "<title>".(isset($title)?$title:"shimmering graphix.") . "</title>\n";?>

[shimmeringgraphix]

no error, but still didn't give me a title (besides the shimmering graphix) on the individual page...

Make sure that:
<?php $title='Retro Myspace Layouts!'; ?>

Is above:
include("header.php");

<?php $title='Retro Myspace Layouts!'; ?>

Is above:
include("header.php");

agreed shimmeringgraphix, your making a call to a string that isn't defined yet so it's returning nothing!

[shimmeringgraphix]

Yeah it is.


I have this in the individual page
<?php
$title = "Retro Myspace Layouts!";
include('http://shimmeringgraphix.com/header.php');
?>


Then this in the header

<?php echo "<title>".(isset($title)?$title:"Shimmering Graphix") . "</title>\n";?>

Try this:

<?php
$title = "Myspace Layouts";
include('/home/yoursite/public_html/header.php');
?>

Work out what the full directory structure is for your header file.

For example, mine is

/home/seth/public_html/myspace/header.php

Then on header.php have this in your HTML

<title>Shimmering Graphixx - <?php echo $title; ?></title>

Then if you're given a parse error like before try

<?php echo "<title>".(isset($title)?$title:"shimmering graphix.") . "</title>\n";?> like Des posted.

I think its because you're including an absolute URL..

That worked, thanks! :)

Awesome, glad you got it sorted out!

Yeah isset is more for cookies and forms etc...

regular string echo should work!
