Hello all,

I’m using PHP for the first time on a site of plant species. Simple PHP header and footer. How can I get the content.PHPs to change the document title. I’m sure this is a simple javascript function, but this doesn’t seem to be working…

```auto
document.title=("TitleTitleTitle")

```

Each plant page needs to have the title of the plant so I can index and make searchable. Right now it only has the title I specified for the homepage (as it is part of the header)

Any help would be appreciated. It’s ok to laugh. I can take it. I just cannot figure this one out.

Thanks
