1. Either will work, the commented version is better for browsers though.
2. Create another folder (like pages, but call this one 'headers' or
such. Then add this code underneath where $strPage is assigned:
if (file_exists("h eaders/{$strPage}.php" ))
{include("heade rs/{$strPage}.php" );}
The .php in the headers folder would need to be pure php (no out put, no
empty spaces before/after the PHP tags).
Inside the PHP, you could have
<?php $strTitle = "Different Title"; ?>
Then, in your template page where you set your title, you could have
something like this:
<TITLE><?php if (strlen(trim(@$ strTitle))>0) {print
$strTitle;}else {print "Normal Title"; ?></TITLE>
The file in the headers folder will need the same filename as the file
in the pages folder. You don't need to put a file in the headers folder,
for each one you have in your pages folder, just ones that change something.
This way you can put anything that changes headers or adds cookies on a
page using the file in the headers folder.
