I am creating some PHP script that dynamically writes new webpages with "clientname: pagename" style Title tags and I would like to know if there is some way to assign a variable to that like "clientname: $pagename"? I have the PHP4 Bible and I don't see anything in there with regards to do that.

maybe someone could point me to a URL that may explain how I can do that.

pagename being the title of the page?

or the filename of the page?

latter is easier to do, former is harder albeit still doable.

Boudga: Do you mean use PHP to write into <title></title> tags or something more complex?

If that's the case, do what I do....

echo the info into a javascript variable, then use it for document.title. Such as:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var blah = <?=$myphptitle ?>;
document.title = blah;
// or
// document.title = "This is my cool page: " + blah;
</script>

in php? i only know asp but i would do it like this:

make recordset lets say rs
open the connection (mysqstatement)
then

<title><% response.write rs("Title") %>

Translate this to php and that should work

If i got your point right

Well why don't you echo it straight into the <title></title> tags - that would seem more direct?

In my case, I can't echo it right to the <title>, since the <title> is in my header file, and the PHP/MySQL stuff is actually in the content page.

Either way would work.....

Another thing you can do is devise some sort of unique tag to put in the header file so you can read the file into a variable and do a str_replace with the variable in the page. For the Content management system I've been creating, I use <%% %%> tags. I thought of using XML, but it is so inefficient from a parsing standpoint.
