Extracting page title

I'm trying to extract the page title by using a url.

You know how "document.title" returns the title of the current page? well I was wondering if i could say "'http://google.com'.title" (doesn't work) or something similar to get the title of another page. thx for any ideas

 

You'll need a PHP script for this.
By using get_file_contents($url) and fetching the title.

 

heres my response (i got error when i tried to post the entire thing) pastebin.com/mYuBhyDA

 

i think its file_get_contents

 

in javascript,its little harder to get title of the window as title is out of the web page while you can easily get web page content
