Grabbing HTML Title

I would like to know the title of an HTML file. i feel like there should be a function to get this, does anyone know of any? if not, should i just use regex?

Uehh. Not sure if i understand when you would use somethin like that.

In this for html-files that are stored on your server?

Regex would work if you can read the file (not request it).

yeah the files are on my server. so i'll just use regex, thanks.

Do you mean grab the text between the <title> and </title> tags? If so you could use a regular expression for that (and preg_match() )
