[SOLVED] Get A Variable From A Current Page

[monkeybidz]

I am using:

 

header.php

index.php

footer.php

 

All in one instance. I need to get the variable $title from the index to echo in header. How do I get this to the header file. I tried simply:

 

echo $title; in the header, but it does not call it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Options

#1 create another file called global.php

<?php
$title = "My Title";
?>

then add

include "global.php";

at the start of header.php & index.php

 

#2 Store it in a session ie

<?php
start_session(); //at the top
$_SESSION['title'] =  $title;
?>

Because that's entirely a different file which is obviously out of the scope.  Like MadTechie said you should store it in a session variable so you can easily pass it among pages.  This will avoid including files.

I just used a query in the header file and that did it.

 

You guys have been very helpful.

Hmm, not sure how that solved you problem because your question was (not really a question):

 

I need to get the variable $title from the index

 

In any event, glad you resolved everything.
