strip TITLE from websites

[greg252]

I have used get_meta_tags but if the site doesn't have meta title, how can I get what's between the <title></title>?

Thanks.

Not sure what you want, but you could grab it with a reg ex...

<?
$url = "http://www.yahoo.com/index.html";

if ($file = @fopen ($url, "r")):

		while (!feof ($file)):

			$buffer .= fgets($file, 4096);

		endwhile;

		fclose($file);

	endif;

preg_match("%(<title>)(.*?)(</title>)%", $buffer, $title);

echo $title[2];
?>

[_SuperString]

try this:

$URL = "http://www.yahoo.co.uk"; 
$open = fopen("$URL", "r");  

if(!$open){
	die("Could not open file");
}
$got_file = fread($open, 20000);
fclose($open);
$start = '<title>'; 
$end = '</title>';
$data = eregi("$start(.*)$end", $got_file, $out);
$title = str_replace($start, "", $out[0]);
$title = str_replace($end, "", $title);
$title = trim($title);
echo $title;

What if the <title> tags don't appear within the first 20000 bytes?

Unlikely but possible...
