Changing page title without java/jquery

Question

so my index page looks like this

<?php include 'header.php';?>
 <main id="main" role="main">
   <?php
    if ($_GET['page'] == "") {
        if ($_POST['page'] <> "") {
            $page = $_POST['page'];
            }
        else {
            $page = "homepage";
            }
        }
    else {
        $page = $_GET['page'];
        }

    switch($page) {
    case "about": include "about.php"; break;
    case "mission": include "mission.php"; break;
    ?>
  </main>
 <?php include 'footer.php';?>

The header got a standard title tag, my question is how can i change the title for each index.php?page=page-name

Move your 'page' detection logic in header.php before the title tag!? — AndreiDMS, Oct 06 '16 at 20:05

By the time your page check has started, header.php has already been interpreted. So there is no way to inject the title unless you put the page check above the title.

Additionally, since you're checking both GET and POST, you might consider simplifying your code as follows:

<?php

switch($_REQUEST['page']) {
    case "about":
        include "about.php";
        break;

    case "mission":
        include "mission.php";
        break;

    default:
        include "homepage.php";
}

@FarcasAlexandru that is dangerous, because you're not validating the user input against a white list of known safe values. – mister martin Oct 06 '16 at 20:22
