Using &lt;title&gt; tags

Using <title> tags

Sharif

How can I use whatever is in the <title></title> tags from the previous page, for the current page's <title></title> tags?

stolzyboy

you could set that to a variable, then do a string replace and replace the title tags with "", then use a session to set a global variable, then echo out the global session variable in the title page of the session, of course, if you go to that second page first, nothing will show up,

and exactly what are you trying to do, give us more information so we can clarify your problem

stolzyboy !! is right !!

you have to use somevariable to print it on the page. if can't go simply like

 <title> this is my title  </title>

more you should go like

 
       <?   $title = " this is my title ";  ?>
       <title><?echo  $title ?></title>
          ...
        ...
        ...
        ...
        ...
        $_global["title"] = $title;

If I do it through a variable, wouldn't I have to use a link to pass it on to the next page?

Nope!!

well, you have many options to do it.

you can use hidden variables
pass in url
store in a global variable
store as a seession variable

you have to select which way works for you!!

Sharif

the only way I know is to pass URL 🙂 How can I do the others?

FrozNic

you can use hidden variables
pass in url
store in a global variable
store as a seession variable

1.
<input type=hidden name=title value=yourtitle>

2.
<a href="index.php?title="<? $_REQUEST['title']; ?>">nextpage</a>
(passes the var title the result of whatever request['title'] was
or, if you have a local var ($title); just put $title inplace of request['title']

i'm tired and don't exactly know the syntax for global vars off top of head...

same with 4.

basically 4 sends it along through the browser session of the user.

it's something like...
session_start();
session_register('title') = 'title'; // i think

i think that's all you need, but i'm not fluid in session language yet 🙂 i tried

don't use session_register anymore: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

<?php

session_start();
$_SESSION['title'] = "Your Title";

?>

<html>
<head>
<title><?=$_SESSION['title']?></title>
</head>
