Function to get Page Title from a URL

March 23, 2005 by Pete Freitag

I wrote a simple function today that grabs a url, and parses out the title of the page from the url:

<cffunction name="getPageTitle" returntype="string" output="false">
	<cfargument name="pageurl" type="string" required="true">
	<cfhttp method="get" redirect="true" url="#arguments.pageurl#" throwonerror="true"></cfhttp>
	<cfreturn ReReplace(cfhttp.fileContent, ".*<title>([^<>]*)</title>.*", "\1")>
</cffunction>

<cfoutput>#getPageTitle("http://www.macromedia.com/")#</cfoutput>

The Fixinator Code Security Scanner for ColdFusion & CFML is an easy to use security tool that every CF developer can use. It can also easily integrate into CI for automatic scanning on every commit.

Hi there... Copied and pasted this code block. Have updated it to now return a complete anchor with href and title attributes. Works like a charm. Very inventive thinking. Will definitely come in handy at some point. Cheers
