It must be late- but my mind has gone blank, and I can't find an example anywhere.
how do you make the <title> <?=$title?> </title>
then show up a title you specified- the title is part of an include, do I need to split the include and create a function- or can I call a function from outside the include??
I thought I had it nailed- but It's not working. Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

I think that the only way to include code is to specify the file name of the included code.

<?
include(&quot;mytitle.inc&quot;);
?> Clive

The way I do it is like this...

Main code...
<?
blah blah
$title = &quot;Title for this page is this&quot;;
include &quot;header.html&quot;;
blah blah
?>

header.html
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>
<?echo $title?>
</TITLE></HEAD></HTML>

I'm sure there're other ways too.

change the extension of header.html to header.php and it should work! --BB

why bother?

I like using .php extension for php code which will execute on include, .inc files for functions, and .html for files which are mostly html except for a few includes.... helps me organize my projects.

ok, I got it to work- BUT, it's putting a number after my page title.... WHY!!??

code is (in the header include- header.inc)
blah blah
<title><?=print $DOC_TITLE?></title>
blah blah

and on the page I'm testing it out in (test.php)
<?php
$DOC_TITLE=&quot;My page title&quot;;
include (&quot;header.inc&quot;)?>

and the output is <title> My page title1 </title>

anyone know why? Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

actualy forget it- I'm just being dense and trying to use echo and print at the same time- maybe I should have a coffee.. o_O Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..
