Having a title element on your page is essential. It gives users a quick preview of the page content.
Using ZendFramework you can use this little snippet to control the page title from within a controller action.
PHP Code:
<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function init()
    {
        /* Initialize action controller here */
    }
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->view->headTitle("My Page Title");
    }
}
Alternatively, if you haven't set your view up properly, you can use this:
PHP Code:
<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function init()
    {
        /* Initialize action controller here */
    }
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->_helper->layout()->getView()->headTitle("My Page Title");
    }
}
I hope this helps you out there! A quick definitive way to control your page title from ZendFramework.
