[SOLVED] PHP w/ Javascript as variable -- HELP PLZ!

[jmhyer123]

I am working on a script at the moment and I am trying to read the title of the page (between <title> and </title> tags) I can't figure out how to do it in PHP so I was trying to use javascript since it is way easier. However I can't get it to work.

 

Heres the code:

$pagetitle = "<script language=javascript>document.title</script>";

 

I have tried chaning it (using " or ' around language=javascript) and I know that is the correct javascript because if you plug it into your brower as javascript:document.title it returns the title.

 

If anybody has figured this out before or if anybody knows how to do this (read the title) with PHP that would be great!

 

Thanks in advance!!

$fh = fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT.$PHP_SELF,"r");
$found=false;
$title="";
while(!feof($fh) && !found){
   if(preg_match("/<title>(.*)<\\\/title>/",fget($fh,4096),$matches)){
      $found=true;
      $title=$matches[1];
   }
}
fclose($fh);
if($found){
   // Here title is correct
}
else{
   // this page doesn't contain <title>
}

php and javascript don't interact like that...JS is client side, php is serverside...and they don't talk directly.

 

You'll have to read the html for the page into a variable, then use regex to get the title out of that text.
