dynamic <title/>

I have approx 160 pages indexed by google all with the same title because the page is dynamic. is there some way of changing the title dynamically depending on what is dragged from the db.

Yeah use php or whatever and use the article/ whatever title as the page title. Just stick the code between the <title> tags.

Thanks Pete
I thought that was the way to go, now I have to work out how. Do you know any tutorials on the subject.

I could be (very) wrong here but I'd imagine that you just find out what the variable is that echo/prints the title and use that in your header.

PHP: Select all

 <title>My site name - <?php echo $myVariable; ?></title>

or you could

PHP: Select all

<title><?php echo "My site name - " . $myVariable; ?></title>

I don't know if there is any real difference, in one (the second one) the php echo's the standard text and pulls the page title and then echos that too, and in the first one the standard text bit is just in the HTML. Not sure.

Bear in mind that my php knowledge is a bit limited. Someone who knows about that sort of thing will correct me if I'm wrong or provide a better solution.

I have been searching for days to find a method thats understandable for mear mortals. Once again this forum (Pete) has given me the pointers required.
I'm off to have a go at reducing 160+ pages with the same title.

I thought you might like to know, with the code you provided I have now changed all my pages and they now show exactly what I want.

h1 headings now changed with same code. WOH! amazing what a little bit of code can do

Great. I thought it would work and am pretty happy it did. It is amazing what you can do with such a tiny bit of code and a little knowledge.

Excellent, well done.
