Thanks Benjamin, I just moved the entire title tag including you PHP snippet from above onto my page befor my require (include) header. It works perfect!

Instead of defining $page in the page title just add it above you’re header.php include, that should sort it out. If you’re still having problems, send me a message using my contact form.

Hey Benjamin, thanks for this helpful little post. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I do have a problem though and I was wandering if you’d help me solve it?

I pull my header[dot]php with the PHP function requier into all my pages. Now all of my pages are having the same name.

I’m not good enough to find a work around myself. Could you help me with a quick fix? Many thanks Marc

function is_page($current_page, $page, $title){

if($current_page == $page)
echo $title;

}

This function could save you a bit more of time

Looks great!

You could even simplify the title tag

Thanks for the code, Benjamin.

Cool, nice tip
used something similar to this awhile back, where I used a ’select’ to determine which page content to include, in relation to what the current page title was.
