So, I need a way of opening up the home.php > file, extracting the line containing the $title variable and putting > that information inbetween the <title></title> tags. In that case do it backwards: index.php: <?php $title = "page title"; include "header.php"; echo "<p>Welcome to the home page of our website.</p>\n" ."<p>Blah, blah and more blah!</p>\n"; include "footer.php"; ?> header.php: <html> <head> <title><?php echo $title; ?></title> </head> <body> footer.php: </body> </html> Hope this helps!!

Now there's relief! http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/ The above would work OK, but in the index.php file, where I have: <?php require("home.php"); ?> The required file will be changing all the time, that's why I want to set the title in the individual pages and get the main page to read that information.
