<?
$pageTitle = 'Root Title - Pictures';
?>
<title><?= $pageTitle ?></title>
using the file name to derive text (other than literal 'pictures.php') is
voodoo magic at its finest...don't do it. the above is the simplest way to
implement what you want. you could also use a db to store the name and look
it up (use the script name, like $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] as the key to the db
lookup).
if you do this the way you suggest, you've required that anyone who
developes pages on your site to somehow know they have to do something
special when naming scripts. file system, db, html, php are all different
layers of an application and each should be as self-contained, independent,
and isolated as possible. a good read for you would be 'ISO 7 layers' and
'code complete'.
if you still insist...
<?
$scriptName = !is_link(__FILE__) ? __FILE__ : readlink(__FILE__);
$pathInfo = pathinfo($scriptName);
$scriptName = ucwords(strtolower($pathInfo['filename']));
?>
<title><?= $scriptName ?></title>
as you can see, the first example is much more straight-forward.
