Hello Everyone,

Im very new to php. Is it poosible to do something to include the tilte of my page in the body of my page?

This might work, though there's probably something better out there.

<?$title = "Some text";?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?=$title?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?=$title?></h1>
</body>
</html>

Now the contents of the variable $title are in both the title of the page and in the body 🙂

Edit: In my rush, I forgot <? and ?> for $title = "Some text"; It's fixed now 🙂

yea. I will test it out. But im not sure if it will do it for each page and if the pages have different titles. How would that work?

the

<?=$title?>

needs to be

<?php echo $title?>

You would have to have perhaps a bunch of constants defined and just use the constant or just use the term you want without using a variable.

What is it you are trying to do with your pages and maybe someone could give you a method or means of achieving it. If you just want the same term used within your main page then just type it in there, why use a variable in the first place?

Actually, it doesn't. Assuming the short_open_tag is On, either method produces the same results. Sure, for portability and whatnot you should probably not use the short open.

In PHP with "short_tags" set to on <?= is the SAME as <?php echo

<?="This is a sentence"?> is the SAME as <?php echo "This is a sentence" ?>

And I'm pretty sure they're set to "on" by default. So chances are most hosts have then set to on 🆒

You can also wrap the entire thing in PHP tags if you want 😃

<?php
$title = "Some text";
echo <<<HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>$title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>$title</h1>
</body>
</html>
HTML;
?>
