Show DevBest [PHP] Get page title

[Markshall]

Ever wondered how forums get the title of a page when you post a link? Well I've made a really small function to get the title of the page for you.

Feel free to use.

<?php
function getTitle( $url )
{
	$source = @file_get_contents( $url );
	$title = explode( "<title>", $source );
	$title = explode( "</title>", $title[1] );
	$title = trim( $title[0] );
	return $title;
}
echo getTitle( "http://www.upload2.us" );
echo getTitle( "http://www.mark-eriksson.com" );
echo getTitle( "http://www.devbest.com" );
?>
