I'm working with alot of files, and basically just need to know how to take the file name and add it to the title.

The files are like this for example: led_zeppelin-kashmir.html

and I would need it to automatically take the file name and add it to the title so the end result would look like this:

MySitesName.com - Led Zeppelin - Kashmir

Anyone know how to do this?

Another example just in case, would be like this...

Filename: rolling_stones-paint_it_black.html

End result for title of this html file: MySitesName.com - Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

I'm pretty sure this is what you are talking about. You need to have PhP installed on your domain host or server, which ever applies, for this particular method to work.

Do a page search for:

PHP Code:

<?php $thisPage="About Us"; ?>

Hi TheX, thanks for the reply, but I don't think that is what it I'm looking for.

I'm working with over 20,000 HTML files, and because that's so many, it would take forever to give each file a unique title by hand...

The files all are unique though and look like this for example:

beatles-yesterday.html

and basically I would want the title for that page to be MySitesName.com - Beatles - Yesterday

Sounds like you need a content management system like PhP-Nuke or something similar. Those on-line apps store your files in a database, usually MySQL and dynamically load the content; hence your title also.

http://www.opensourcecms.com/ This is one of the best sites I know of to try each flavor out to see what it's all about.

you could just use a simple PHP script to run through the directories that all your files are in and parse the filenames into whatever you want them to be, the script could then modify the file and change the title tag to what you need it to be, however, there would need to be some standard to the existing filenames. other than that, you should definatly look into MySQL to manage all this content.
