Dynamic Page Titles With PHP

I have a directoroy and i want to make the page titles dynamic. There is already

$mainframe->setPageTitle( _DIRE_TITLE );[CODE]

I want it to put &catid into the setPageTitle but I don't know how to call up &catid or seperate the two. I tried putting the variable &catid into there and seperating them with a space like this "( &catid, _DIRE_TITLE )" but it didnt work 

:confused: :confused: 
yes im a noob :D

Code (markup):

 

What directory script are you running? Whoever made it should be able to help. It is hard to help as your site is using a special class which may need altering.

 

The cms is Joomla!. I forgot to ask on there forums ill do that now

 

&catid is a variable from URL ?
you can probably do something like:

$mainframe->setPageTitle( $_GET["catid"] ." - " . _DIRE_TITLE );

Code (markup):

or

$mainframe->setPageTitle( $catid ." - " . _DIRE_TITLE );

Code (markup):

 

it's usefull man
thx

 

Make sure you filter that data you get from catid using htmlspecialchars and addslashes functions. Or you will have XSS vulnerabilities in your site.
