PHP Variable page title.

[Dal123]

I'm having problems echoing out my <title> tag.

On the same page I have my html 5 as:

<title><?php echo $pagetitle;?></title>

In the header section.

A little below in the same document I then have:

<?php $pagetitle='My cool title';?>

However it is not working. I thought this was a global scope and when the directories were of a different structure in my old website this used to work.

Does anyone know why this won't work and how I can get it to work?

You have to define the $pagetitle variable BEFORE you can echo it.

you need to set your $pagetitle before the echo occurs. You seems to be setting the value after.
