changing title and desc from a php header

[alvito]

Hi,
I am using a php file for the header of my site and so I fill in the title, keywords and description in this header. Now when i include this header file on different pages of my site the same title, kw and desc is copied. Can I create specific titles etc, per page even if I am including the same header?

or is this only possible with html?

Sure, you can use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to identify which page you are on. Then you can just use a switch statement to echo out different titles etc.

or you can specify $title, $keywords etc before you include the header, then echo them in the header.

Hi joevis, can you kindly elaborate on this. or point me to a site that makes use of this??

OP, I have a similar problem and Matt, how do I overwrite the earlier title, desc already currently present in the header, as I can declare and echo out the statements?

I mean, what statement will I have to input into my index.php file?

Can you help me out?


OP: any solution found as yet?

In index.php (or any page), before you include the header file:

<?php
	$title = 'My page title';
	$description = 'page meta description';
	include('header.php');
?>

The <title> in your header.php:

	<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
	<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description; ?>" />

<?php
	$title = 'My page title';
	$description = 'page meta description';
	include('header.php');
?>

The <title> in your header.php:

	<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
	<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description; ?>" />

Thanks Gary

You can include php tags in the title tag

<title><?php echo "Your Title";?></title>
