Let me preface with - I'm a big newb.

On my next website I'd like to have the text in my H1 tag to automatically go into the header and maybe the title of the page. How do I do this?

Thank You

The simplest of solutions would have to be something like this.

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<head>
<?php
$title = "This is my title";
echo "<title>$title</title>";
?>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo $title;  ?></h1>
<p>Some text...</p>
</body>
</html>

lizciz thank you very much that did exactly what I need. I'm hoping I can take this a little bit further.

Let's say $title = "XYZ"
I have folder "XYZ" and in that folder I have "XYZ.jpg"

Can I do something like this -
<img src="/$title/$title.jpg">?

I know what I wrote above obviously won't work but is there a way to do it in php?

Thanks

PHP Code:


			
<img src="<?php echo "/$title/$title.jpg"; ?>" />

The code you wrote will indeed work, if you have it withing the php tags, as in

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$title = "XYZ";
echo "<img src=\"$title/$title.jpg\">"; // Notic I have to escape the quotes inside the string
?>

And since you're new to php it may not be obvious, but you can insert php code anywhere in the document, for example by doing this

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$title = "XYZ";
echo "<title>$title</title>";
?>
</head>
<body>
<p>Some html code here...</p>
<p>And then the image</p>
<?php
echo "<img src=\"$title/$title.jpg\">";
?>
</body>
</html>
