How to create titles from page name ?

well I am generating pages from database and I want to keey SEO friendly titles for every page. The pages are like dealers-of-variable.php so I want the page title to be <title>Delaers of Variable</title> How can I do this ? mind you,first I have to know the name of the page using php code and than have to modify it to create title. I think the code will be something like this.

<?php
$page_name //we have to find this..but how ???

$title=[using regexp make page name into proper titles]
?>

<title><echo $title></title>

Thanks

 

Take page name from $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].

 

It is better to use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'].
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] returns the query string after the script name, it is not needed here.

Check out the article about the difference between SCRIPT_NAME, REQUEST_URI and PHP_SELF.

 

Hi poseidon,

You can pull out the filename without the extension by using:

$file = basename($path, ".php"); // $file is set to actual name without the extension

//OR you can use pathinfo() if many types of files are used besides php

PHP:

To get rid of the dashes,

$title=str_replace("-", " ", $file);

PHP:

 

Also
$newtitle = ucwords($title)

 

And what exactly this will do ?

 

That will Capitalize the first letter of each word.
