I did some testing of multiple pages and it does appear that global variables aren’t shared across pages. Thanks Mitchell for your help.

I really appreciate the help and have read that document.
Do I understand you that page_one.php and page_two.php won’t collide even if they use the same variable name ($my_title) and both call get_header() to load header.php?
So is each page load handled by a separate php instance? That seems expensive but I guess it is good news in this case.

>re simultaneous page requests
Two different users access the site. page_one.php sets the $my_title value to “PageOne”. Then before the header.php code is executed for page one, page_two.php sets the value to “PageTwo”. Since it is a global variable, and assuming that there could be multiple threads generating WordPress content, isn’t it possible that both pages would be displayed with the title “PageTwo”?
>re: wp_title
I’ll look into that again. Since header.php makes that call, every approach that I’ve come up with requires passing of some kind of data/flag.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply!
I have tried that and it does work. However, I have multiple pages that need to pass the data (title). I am concerned that multiple, simultaneous page requests might cause the wrong value to be displayed.
Is there a ‘safer’ way to do this that would tie the data to the page or request?
Thanks again,
Dave
