Passing a variable with a require once code

[TheEddy]

<?php
$pageTitle='Edit Profile';
require_once ("header.php");
?>

How can I pass a variable like that through header.php?  I know it doesn't work the way I have it.

What doesn't work?  If you echo $pageTitle in header.php it will work, unless header.php has already been included/required.

I am an idiot, I see the problem now haha.

 

I had:

<title>$pageTitle</title>

in header.php and it displayed $pageTitle  as the title.
