I want a different title to appear for every page. This is my header.php that I include at the top of every page

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.konetchreport.com/external/external_style.css" type="text/css">
<title>KonetchReport</title>
</head>

<body>
<!--Start Container-->
<div align="center">
<div id="container">
<div align="left">

I want to change the title so it appears different on every page. How do you do this?

Thanks,

This is one way:

PHP Code:


			
switch($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])

{

     case '/index.php':

          $title = 'Home';

          break;

     case '/page.php':

          $title = 'Page';

          break;

}

Yeah I did that, but I have a large amount of pages and was wondering if there are any easier ways of changing the title.

Thanks

Assuming that the title can be derived from the file name, this will get the name of the file without slashes or the .php extension:

PHP Code:


			
$page = end(explode('/' , $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));



$title = str_replace('.php', '', $page);

Without more information about your pages or file naming scheme that's the best I can do. If it is the case that you are pulling your pages from a database, you might want to include a page title column in your table.

I think that should work.

Thanks for the help
