Please help me, i've set-up a php site which included files for the header and footer using the include command.

above this i've set-up a variable called $title and i've set this up as the page title

i.e.

code:

<?
	$title = "Features";
?>

<? include("top.php3"); ?>

<h3><? print("$title"); ?></h3>[/code]

In the included file I have the following line...

code:<title><? print($title) ?> - The Eerie Network Millennium</title>[/code]

However the included file does not pick up the variable, but the main page does.

Any ideas??

First, remember to have <? ... ?> inside your file. Than at the start of your index page, you could just use:
<?
require("variables.txt");
?>
<html>
<title><? echo $title ?></title>
.......

That should work.
