accessing variable value

i need help with accessing the value of a variable from a different page.

i have an index.php file which has 2 files included to display header and
footer and the center portion changes based on the link clicked on the
footer.

header.php

<?php
echo "<h2Text from header.php file </h2>";
?>

footer.php

<?php
$title="Title of Footer Page";
?>
<a href="index.php?page=web">Web Development</a| <a
href="index.php?page=software">Software </a>

index.php

<?php
$pagename=$_GET["page"];
$title="Index page of Company name";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title; ?</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keyword; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pagedescription; ?>">
</head>
<body>
<?php include("header.php"); ?<p</p>
<center>This is the text in the center</center<p</p>
<?php
if($pagename=="web")
{
include("web.php");
}
if($pagename=="software")
{
include("software.php");
}
?>
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>
</body>
</html>

whenever i click the links for Web Development or Software which appears
from the footer a query string is passed to index.php I am able to display
the content of web.php and software.php using the if() condition and
include()
what i need to display is a different title for web.php and software.php
when a user clicks Web Development along with the content i want the title
of the page to change for SE purpose. i have defined $title differently in
web.php and software.php however presently the title being displayed for
index.php when a user clicks web.php and software.php the title is the same
"Index page of Company name" as this is defined in index.php and my title
tag is written as
<title><?php echo $title; ?</titlehowever the title tag remains the same
whether i click web development or software link. how change i change the
code to display different titles.

i am doing this for SE purpose so that different pages have different
titles and meta tags.

actually there can be indivdual files with links to individual pages however
the people i am dealing with who developed the website want the header and
footer to remain so that a flash file does not have to load each time an
indivdual link is clicked.

please advice.

thanks
