Is this possible? (automated browser title)

[Mosqwik]

Hi,
Something that would be really useful for a new project im working on would be to have automated browser titles using some php code in the <title> tags.
The only way I can think of doing this is by having the php code read the url im using for navigation, e.g. /windows/atari2600/ and use that data, edit it and have it display as 'Windows > Atari 2600'
Has this kind of thing been done before? are there any other common ways of doing this? Also are there any tutorials around?
Thanks!

This is definitely possible.

This is done in php but I do not know the exact code used to do this.

Hi Mosqwik! Sorry for delay in reply. Manu is right, this kind of coding is constantly done on PHP.
You can encode URL into title like this

Code:

$url = "/windows/atari2600/";
$title=str_replace(" /", " ", $url); //replacing all slashes with spaces
$titleU=ucwords($title); //convert first letter of each word to uppercase

This code would replace slashes from URL with spaces so $title variable would contain:"windows atari2600".
and $titleU: "Windows Atari2600".

Later you can use one of these variables for creating page title, although if site is dynamical and driven by database than it's better to have titles and description of pages in database itself and retrieve them when needed, this way you don't have to write bulky code to describe all possible situations when and how you need to split words and can use custom titles not tying them to URL. Also having many directories on the site isn't good idea anyway...

Let me know if this is what you where looking for.

I just came across this free script called Random Title Pro which may offer an option for what you want to do.
