Read the Title

[birwin]

Is there a way to read the title from the current page? I want to append the title of the page to any email that is sent from that page.

I have searched the forum and the php.net site and I can't find any way to do this.

Why not just set the title to a variable and one the email link, pass that variable...?

<title><?= $title ?></title>
....
<a href="mail.php?title=$title">Mail Me</a>

Hello,
Here is a theoretical way (The first snippet on reading the file into a variable comes from the php.net site with a slight change to grab $PHP_SELF):

===============

// get contents of a file into a string
//replace /root/path/ with your actual info
$filename = "/root/path/" . $PHP_SELF;
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);

//now pull the title from $contents
$pagetitle = substr($contents, (strpos($contents, "<title>") + strlen("<title>")), strpos($contents, "</title>"));

===============

I haven't tested it out, but the basic theory is to save your file to a variable, then pull the page title by finding the start and end char positions for the <title> tags. Once you have this, you select everything between those points with substr(). That gets your title. This assumes you don't run into any permission problems with reading the file. Good luck.
