r171 return page title

[trilulilu17]

But I have to ask what is this useful for? I can find it useful for a plugin, but for a template?

Code:

if (trim(return_page_title())!='') { echo '<h1>'.return_page_title().'</h1>'; }

This will check whether a page title exists before trying to output it, this way you won’t be outputting an empty H1 element if no title is given. It also shows that return_page_title() is the one you’ll want to use within an echo statement.

Or maybe you want to use Shaun Inman’s Widon’t:

Code:

<h1><?php echo preg_replace('|([^\s])\s+([^\s]+)\s*$|', '$1 $2', return_page_title()); ?></h1>

As long as these kind of things exist and will be created in the future you’ll want to be able to pass the title into your own PHP code within a template. At least that’s what we think and that’s why the return_ functions are included.

I see it now. Thank you!
