Is there a way to overwrite a page's <title> tag by using PHP within the body?

php

Solution

You can't.

if you want to change it add some Java Script code that will execute on the client side and do this for you:

 <script>
 document.title = "This is the new page title.";
 </script>

And with some PHP:

<head><title>some title</title></head>
<body>
   <?php if (some condition, etc) { ?>
   <script>
        document.title = "This is the new page title.";
   </script>
   <?php } ?>
</body>

Problem

I'm pretty new to PHP and was wondering if there was a way to overwrite what is displayed in a title tag by using PHP inside the body. Let me explain why I'm trying to do this. I'm using a forum/cms software that allows me to create PHP pages, but won't let me change anything about the header (including the title tag). I was hoping there was a script that I could place into the body using PHP that would overwrite whatever was displayed into the default title tag. This is probably a crazy question, and if so I apologize. Just running out of ideas how to get what I need in the title. Thanks!
