So if you have some URL:

http://www.some.url/index.php?c_id=4&m=4&title=Page+Title

You can set the page title with the following code:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title><?php echo $_GET['title']; ?></title> </head> <body>  </body> </html>

Hi ejsexton82

Thanks for your reply

The code you provided will include page title in the title bar, isnt' it? I wanted that the page title is included in the URL.

Currently URL's are showing like this:

http://www.some.url/index.php?c_id=4&m=4

I want like this:

http://www.some.url/index.php?c_id=4&m= ... f_the_page

Please advise how to do this

Thanks

I am not sure you can do that without some sort of redirect:

Code: Select all: $pageTitle = urlencode('Title of the Page'); if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) || strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$pageTitle) === false) { if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $queryString = $pageTitle; } else { $queryString = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] . '&' . $pageTitle; } header("Location: ?{$queryString}"); exit; }

There may also be a way to accomplish the redirect using JavaScript.

Hi ejsexton82

Thank you very much

This code is replacing the complete url with the page title. Due to this page can not be loaded, since the starting URL address like index.php?c_id=4&m=4 is not being included in the URL

I am wondering redirect is the solution to this? Can we not do something that will change the way how php is creating URL's so when each URL is created , it also includes page title in it?

I am also wondering doing this is very important for SEO purpose, there should not be a quick a-b-s like solution available like writing a code line in htaccess, etc ?

Awaiting reply

thanks a lot
