This simple PHP function is pretty handy if you want your websites pages in the title without having to name individual ones.

It will look like:




etc..

paste the code into your "functions" file, or any webpage which is included in every page you have
(Reminder: To include a webpage, use 'include("webpage.php");')
You can of course put the function in each page, but that's just annoying ..

then, in each webpage you want the title to appear, put


?>


I've quoted each line to show the people who don't do PHP, how the function works a little better

lol I was usually either writing it to every different page or just using some get variable since sometimes I build sites that are accessible only trough index and then when they in fact click on the link link looks something like this index.php?page=about so it initializes variable page with the name content about and you are able to access any page you wuild with this also variable is accessible trough $_GET['page'] simple as that.

But in the end I must admit your solution is a lot more elegant. However I see that there might be some problems if one page is include in the other one and is also accessible on its self. And one other problem is if you have php files name in different way then the paeg names. Also what happenes when you've got there get variables I think that it gots distorted.

Well these are just thoughts someone might shed some light on it.

best regards

yea, i have used a small icon for favorites menus, you need to create an icon, 16x16 px.
Then you have to upload it somewhere, and in some cases, create a CSS file to tell the browser where to find the file.
I cant remember how to do it exactly, google it, there areseveral tutoials on how to do it...
