Echoing the document title

douger9999

Hello all...

I am trying to create a document template, which is easily adaptable to allow insertion of pages quickly and easliy.

This template used to use javascript, and I am now trying to convert it to php.

One issue I have is that the page title eg <title>My Title</title> is used as the page title, but it is also displayed in <h1> tags on the top of the page too. Using javascript, this was easy... document.write("<h1>document.title</h1>");

Is there a way to do this with PHP, so that the end user is unaware that this text has been generated dynamically.

Many Thanks

Doug

echo "<title> $title </title>";
echo "<h1> $title </h1>";

e.g., from one of my templates:


<HEAD>
<TITLE><?php echo $title ?></TITLE>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=iso-8859-1">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="<?php echo $keywords ?>">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="<?php echo $short ?>">

That will certainly do the trick, many thanks

I see converting from JS to php involves lateral as well as literal thinking.

Thanks

Maybe you can have use for this little php snippet I wrote in another topic.

It will create and save any template, to any filename.
My example creates a index.html but might as well be mypage.php

<?php
///// CREATE and SAVE A FILE index.html 
///// by halojoy 2005
error_reporting ( E_ALL ); // for debug only, disable otherwise

// Start the output buffer: 'ob'
ob_start();
?>
<!-- start of page -->
<html><head>
<title>INDEX</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo 'Welcome to my index page
</body></html>
';
?>
<!-- end of page -->

<?php
// Get buffer contents into $page
// and clean output buffer
   $page = ob_get_contents();
   ob_end_clean();

// Save As: 'index.html' in './files' folder
   $dir = './files';
   $file = 'index.html';

   if (!is_dir( $dir ))
      if (!@mkdir( $dir )) die ( 'make directory failed' );   

   $filepath = $dir . '/' . $file;
   if (is_file( $filepath )) die( 'is file already' );
   $fp = fopen( $filepath, 'wb' );
   fwrite( $fp, $page, strlen($page) );
   fclose( $fp );
   chmod( $filepath, 0755 );

echo 'okay saved file';
exit();

?>

Yes, I love this one, myself
I will definitively use it in my future scripts.

Glad you liked it, douger9999

Hi again.
I debugged and updated my script, while testing it in my server.
Use the new version. I edited my php code in this post in this thread:
