how can i add different title

[ivanna]

Hello,

I am assigned a task to make alterations on a client website.

The header is an include on all pages.

Inside the header is the title tag which propogate to all pages. I want title different to each page, I will also add description and keyword. Is there a way to do this with PHP or should I have different header for each page.

 

thank you

Sure, there are multiple ways of doing this depending on your structure.  You can look at the page (URI), send a command for whatever page you're directing to etc.  Again, it depends on your structure, specifically how you navigate through each section.

Well is the header page that is included, a php file? If so just do something like

<title><? echo $title; ?></title>

 

then before including it just set the title:

$title = "SITENAME - Pagename";

etc, u get the point.

Thank you for your replies.

Maq,

the site is small and navigation is a list in the header.

 

Jocka,

the header page is header.php

 

I am to understand in header.php I add <title><? echo $title; ?></title> and on each page I add $title = "SITENAME - Pagename"; where pagename is the page being accessed. I add this before the include.

 

Would it be correct to add description and keywords the same way??

 

Thank you for this help.

Don't get in the habit of using short <? open tags, use the full <?php open tag syntax.

 

Anyhow, yes you can add whatever you'd like to add by echoing it into the html markup.
