Like this…

 echo $title;

 $title = 'Jelly';

I only ask because I have a header file before that I declare the $title, on some of my pages though the page has different sections using a simple $_GET[‘tab’] === ‘blahblahblah’;

But these $_GET variables are declared after I have called the header file…

    But these $_GET variables are declared after I have called the header file…

    that’s what you’re doing wrong.

    Call your header only after you’ve got all necessary data.

    You need proper site architecture for this.
    Divide your code into 3 parts:

    1. main site template (including your header)
    2. particular page template
    3. page code.

    Ans with this setup you’ll never run into problem like this.
    A typical script may look like

    <?
//include our settings, connect to database etc.
include dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']).'/cfg/settings.php';
//getting required data
$DATA=dbgetarr("SELECT * FROM links");
// setting title for using in the main template
$pagetitle = "Links to friend sites";
//etc
//set page template filename
$tpl = "links.tpl.php";
//and then finally call a template:
include "main.tpl.php";
?>

    where main.tpl.php is your main site template, including common parts, like header, footer, menu etc:

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>My site. <?=$pagetitle?></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
<? include $tpl ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    and links.tpl.php is the actual page template:

    <h2><?=$pagetitle?></h2>
<ul>
<? foreach($DATA as $row): ?>
<li><a href="<?=$row['link']?>" target="_blank"><?=$row['name']?></a></li>
<? endforeach ?>
<ul>
