i need help with accessing the value of a variable from a different page.
i have an index.php file which has 2 files included to display header and footer and the center portion changes based on the link clicked on the footer.
header.php
<?php
echo "<h2> Text from header.php file </h2>";
?>
footer.php
<?php
$title="Title of Footer Page";
?>
<a href="index.php?page=web">Web Development</a> | <a href="index.php?page=software">Software </a>
index.php
<?php
$pagename=$_GET["page"];
$title="Index page of Company name";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title; ?> </title>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keyword; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pagedescription; ?>">
</head>
<body>
<?php include("header.php"); ?> <p> </p>
<center>This is the text in the center</center> <p> </p>
<?php
if($pagename=="web")
{
include("web.php");
}
if($pagename=="software")
{
include("software.php");
}
?>
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>
</body>
</html>
whenever i click the links for Web Development or Software which appears from the footer a query string is passed to index.php I am able to display the content of web.php and software.php using the if() condition and include()
what i need to display is a different title for web.php and software.php when a user clicks Web Development along with the content i want the title of the page to change for SEO purpose. i have defined $title differently in web.php and software.php however presently the title being displayed for index.php when a user clicks web.php and software.php the title is the same
"Index page of Company name" as this is defined in index.php and my title tag is written as
<title><?php echo $title; ?> </title> however the title tag remains the same whether i click web development or software link. how change i change the code to display different titles.
i am doing this for SEO purpose so that different pages have different titles and meta tags.
actually there can be individual files with links to individual pages however the people i am dealing with who developed the website want the header and footer to remain so that a flash file does not have to load each time an individual link is clicked.
please advice.
thanks
