Header how to modify title of the page "on the fly"

Question

My header is called as you can imagine, on each pages.

it means that on each pages i've the same title (bad for SEO)

Is there a workaround to set pages title outside the header.php ?

Thanks

Solution 1

Make a variable $page_title. Set it before including the header and in the header have something like:

echo("<title>$page_title</title>");

Solution 2

Set a variable for the title before including the header, then output the variable within the header.

It would be best to see some example code for how your files are structured, otherwise you will get more generic answers.

Thanks that was fast ;) $header = "title of my page"; include_once 'header.php'; header // echo ("<title>$header</title>");

That would echo the title tags at the time of the function call, which is after the header was included. This wouldn't solve the original poster's problem.
