I am using the script below to dynamically create breadcrumbs on my site. I would like the title tag to look just like the breadcrumbs but I can't get it to print anything in the title tag. I tried adding this to the title tag, but it doesn't print anything <?php echo $SCRIPT_URL ?>. It should print Home > About > Me > Page. I guess it doesn't working since $SCRIPT_URL contains a lot of code, instead of just plain text.
Here's where I found the script: http://www.evolt.org/article/Breadcrumbs_for_PHP_Lovers/17/4455

<?php $page_title = "About Me";
include('/includes/breadcrumb.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $page_title ?></title>
Does anybody know how to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This thing is driving me nuts!
