[PHP] I suck at regular expressions!

[Richard S. Crawford]

I am trying to get the title of an html file... you know, the string 
between the < title > and < /title > tags...

Here is the function I've got so far:

function fileTitle($fileName) {
         $myFile = fopen($fileName, "r");
         $myText="";
         while (!feof($myFile)) {
                 $myText .= fgets($myFile,255);
         }
         fclose($myFile);
         if (eregi("<TITLE>(.+)</TITLE>",$myText,$theTitle)) return 
$theTitle[0];
         else return "(No Title)";
}

The trouble is, it always returns "(No Title)", regardless of whether the 
file has a title defined in the header or not.

I suspect I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.  Can anyone set me straight?
