<head>titles as php?

Hey, I have a website, and it has alot of pages. I would like each page to have it's own title, however my website uses php includes for the header and footer.

I want to be able to make my photos page, say photos in the title for example "Mysite.com - Gallery!"

I have tried to name them like vraiables (spelling?)

like:
The header page

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>Mysite.com <?php echo ("$titletop") ?></title>

</head>

and on the .php page

PHP Code:


			
<?php include ("header.html") ?>

<?php $titletop="Gallery!" ?>

I don't see what's wrong. If anyone could give me an easier way, or maybe i'm just doing this wrong? >_>

I tried that as well but I think the problem is the header is first, the php is included and then you are declaing the variable for the title.

I did a bodge - there must be a better way with arrays - At the top of the page I have :

PHP Code:


			
if ( $page == '1' ) { $title = 'Page 1"; }

elseif ( $page == '2' ) { $title = 'page 2'; }

// etc.

you can only call variables when you define it first like you can't define on line #5 and call it on #3 you'd need to define the variable before the title and you didn't end the lines ie. :

PHP Code:


			
<?

include ("header.html");

$titletop="Gallery!";

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Mysite.com <?php echo ("$titletop"); ?></title>

</head>
