You do not need quotes around variable. The instruction should
look like this:
echo $title_string;
or even:
echo htmlspecialchars( $title_string );
> </head>

You do not need to use two PHP sections. You can join the
code into one section for example like this (I used single
quotes because they do not evaluate special chars which
makes using "$" sign and quotes in those easier):
<?php
$title_string = 'My Title String';
include 'header.php';
?>
> Main body contents<br>
> </html>

This example above should work (even with those quotes around variable
in the header file). Have you checked if this simple example works on your
PHP server? If not, then check it. If this one works, and your actual code
does not, then you have some error in the actual code. We'd have to see it
to tell what is wrong with it.
