PHP :: How To Get A Title Out A Html File

Reading HTML Title In PHP
I am challenged with the task of writing a PHP script that will prompt the user for a website (ex: yahoo.com). When submitted, the PHP script will somehow open the web page as a file, somehow search the source, find the <title> tag, and return the title of the web page..

If someone knows an easier approach to this, I would appreciate it. Opening an entire website as a variable seems like a bit of overkill..

Heres where I'm at so far, I'm kind of looking for a push in the right direction. I've been googling for awhile now trying to find out how to tackle this, but searching for things like "php, website, title, web page, HTML" hasn't proved too successful..

<?php

// Assigns $site from the form text box named "site"
//
$site = $_POST['site'];

$file = fopen($site, "r");

// This needs to open the text-source of the inputted webpage.
// From here I will search for the <title> tag in the HTML...
//
echo "$file";
echo "<br><hr>";

?>

Getting Title From HTML Links
I'm trying to get the title from a string with an html link using this code:

<?php
$string = "<a href=/test>test link</a>";
$get_title = ereg_replace('<a href=[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]+>([[:alpha:]])+</a>', Ƈ', $string);
echo $string;
?>

however, it just spits out the same HTML link, a bit of help please?

$title Not Displaying In <title>$title</title>
For some reason $title will not display in the <title></title> using print or echo. I've tried modifying the if staments to ifelse, and even fiddled with $_GET to get this working. Tried dbl/single quotes, even changed the variable around thinking $title might be a global. nothing working yet. Any ideas?

<?php
$page == 'home'
$title == "Welcome!";
if ($page == 'home') { $title == "Welcome!"; }
elseif ($page == 'about') { $title == "about us"; }
elseif ($page == 'products') { $title == "Products"; }
elseif ($page == 'services') { $title == "Services"; }
elseif ($page == 'repair') { $title == "Upgrades & Repairs"; }
elseif ($page == 'network') { $title == "Network Solutions"; }
?>

Require_once(<html Fragment File>) Vs Document.write(<html Fragment>)
To reuse common fragments of html on many pages I have used javascript functions, called from a linked .js file, which are precisely one instruction: document.write(<the html>).
I'm starting to learn PHP now and see that a require_once(<url for file containing the html fragment>); will have the same affect.

My question is, which method is more efficient? i.e. renders faster?

P.S. is there a simple way to set up testing-only server-software on my local machine so i can debug php locally before uploading them to site's server?

Dynamic Title Issues > Help Please!
Here is my problem: First, I am talking about two files. page.php which serves as the main content page and header.php which contains the obvious header information.

page.php contains the code listed below. I am I am trying to get the <title></title> tag to echo the headline which is described below. The only way of doing this that I have found is copying all of the data below into the head file and placing the <?php echo "?> data into the <title> </title> tags.

That works like a charm! The only problem is I am running into duplicate scripts running which then causes the body (page.php) not to show up. Dynamic titles work fine. Any ideas? Suggestions? Help! Thanks.

<?php
if (!isset($_REQUEST['page'])&&!isset($_REQUEST['story']))
{
header('Location: index.php');
exit;
}

$page = $_REQUEST['page'];
$story = intval($_REQUEST['story']);

include_once('db_fns.php');
include_once('header.php');

$handle = db_connect();
if($story)
{
$query = "select * from stories
where id = '$story' and
published is not null";
}
else
{
$query = "select * from stories
where page = '$page' and
published is not null
