I finally decided to post after smashing my head against the monitor a few times trying to figure this out by myself (PHP ignorant)
Here is my code:
<?php
$menu = array();
$menu['home'] = 'Home';
//Add in the format of: $menu['page name'] = 'Page Title';
$title='Home'; //Default title
function generateMenu() {
global $menu,$default,$title;
echo ' <ul>';
$p = isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : $default;
foreach ($menu as $link=>$item) {
$class='';
if ($link==$p) {
$class=' class="selected"';
$title=$item;
}
echo '<li><a href="?p='.$link.'"'.$class.'>'.$item.'</a></li>'.' '.' ';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
As mentioned before... I want to be able to extract the page title from the <h1> tags of each page. I'm using a very basic PHP template I found on the web (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28260)
Thanks in advance
If so... you could simply use strip_tags and allow '<h1>' and then go through and pick off the h1 title you want to use.
I think you need to clarify exactly what you want a little better in order to get more help.
Here is the complete code:
<?php
//Add in the format of: $menu['page name'] = 'Page Title';
$url='http://mysite.com';
function generateMenu() {
global $menu,$default,$title;
echo ' <ul>';
$p = isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : $default;
foreach ($menu as $link=>$item) {
$class='';
if ($link==$p) {
$class=' class="selected"';
$title=$item;
}
echo '<li><a href="?p='.$link.'"'.$class.'>'.$item.'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>

Yes, I think you got the idea... with the template system I'm using I cannot (or I don't know how) to create dynamic titles per each page... so I want to use the <h1> from each page as a title. Can you explain how to do this using my template?... I tried to use the strip_tags but since I'm not a PHP savvy I thing I'm doing something wrong
Thanks a lot for your help!
Instead of grabbing the <h1> and add it to the title what I did is... first added a new variable to the URL link on the menu
index.php?p=index&title=Homepage
and then instead of using
<? echo $title;>
I used
<?php echo $_GET['title']; ?>
This does the trick but I still would like to be able to extract the title from the <h1> tags of each included page
Thank you
