The script below echos the array and its individual elements fine but when the array elements are used to set the page title by running the script after the opening head tag, I still get “untitled document” as the page title.

Further if I try echoing $title alone and placing the title tags <> before and after the php tags, the title is set as the document type definition..

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

It seems that echo sets the relevant HTML tags required before if not already set. Whats the work around ??

<?php
include 'contentStream.php' ;
$upc = $_GET['upc'];
if (isset($upc))
{
global $upc ;
$query = "SELECT * FROM tracks WHERE album_upc='$upc'";
connect();
$db = mysql_select_db("XXXXX");
$results = mysql_query($query, $connection) ;
$result = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
$title = $result['title']." by ".$result['author'] ;
echo "<title>".$title."</title>";
unset($results);
unset($query);
mysql_close($connection) ;
}
else
{
    echo "<title> MYsUPERsITe </title> " ;
}
?>

    Is this being executed within the <head> element? If not it needs to be.

    I am not sure what contentstream.php is but it looks like you might be running this at the wrong location in the page.

    Also try changing $title to $myTitle to see if $title has been set somewhere else.
