expanding on Dainis Abols answer, and your question on output handling,
consider the following:
your header.php has the title tag set to <title>%TITLE%</title> ; the "%" are important since hardly anyone types %TITLE% so u can use that for str_replace() later.
then, you can use output buffer like so
<?php
ob_start();
include("header.php");
$buffer=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$buffer=str_replace("%TITLE%","NEW TITLE",$buffer);
echo $buffer;
?>
and that should do it.
EDIT
I believe Guy's idea works better since it gives you a default if you need it, IE:
- The title is now
<title>Backup Title</title> - Code is now:
<?php
ob_start();
include("header.php");
$buffer=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$title = "page title";
$buffer = preg_replace('/(<title>)(.*?)(<\/title>)/i', '$1' . $title . '$3', $buffer);
echo $buffer;
?>

1. Simply add $title variable before require function
<?php
$title = "Your title goes here";
require("header.php");
?>
2. Add following code into header.php
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>

What you can do is, you store the output in a variable like:
header.php
<?php
$output = '<html><title>%TITLE%</title><body>';
?>
PS: You need to remove all echos/prints etc so that all possible output is stored in the $output variable.
This can be easely done, by defining $output = ''; at the start of the file and then find/replace echo to $output .= .
And then replace the %TITLE% to what you need:
<?php
include("header.php");
$title = "TITLE";
$output = str_replace('%TITLE%', $title, $output);
echo $output;
?>
Another way is using javascript in your code, instead of:
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
Put this in there:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.title = "<?=$title;?>"
</script>
Or jQuery, if you prefer:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(this).attr("title", "<?=$title;?>");
});
</script>

Expanding a little on we.mamat's answer, you could use a preg_replace instead of the simple replace and remove the need for a %title% altogether. Something like this:
<?php
ob_start();
include("header.php");
$buffer=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$title = "page title";
$buffer = preg_replace('/(<title>)(.*?)(<\/title>)/i', '$1' . $title . '$3', $buffer);
echo $buffer;
?>

you can set using JavaScript
<script language="javascript">
document.title = "The new title goes here.";
</script>

Add this code on top your page
<?php
$title="This is the new page title";
?>
Add this code on your Template header file (include)
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>

It's very easy. Put this code in header.php
<?
$sitename = 'Your Site Name'
$pagetitle;
if(isset($pagetitle)){
echo "<title>$pagetitle." | ". $sitename</title>";
}
else {
echo "<title>$sitename</title>";
}
?>
Then in the page put there :
<?
$pagetitle = 'Sign up'
include "header.php";
?>
So if you are on Index.php , The title is Your Site Name. And for example if you are on sign up page , The title is Sign up | Your Site Name

Every Simple just using a function , I created it .
<?
function change_meta_tags($title,$description,$keywords){
// This function made by Jamil Hammash
$output = ob_get_contents();
if ( ob_get_length() > 0) { ob_end_clean(); }
$patterns = array("/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/","<meta name='description' content='(.*)'>","<meta name='keywords' content='(.*)'>");
$replacements = array("<title>$title</title>","meta name='description' content='$description'","meta name='keywords' content='$keywords'");
$output = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements,$output);
echo $output;
}
?>
First of all you must create function.php file and put this function inside ,then make require under the MetaTags in Header.php . To use this function change_meta_tags("NEW TITLE","NEW DESCRIPTION",NEW KEYWORDS); . Don't use this function in Header.php !! just with another pages .

使用像这样的jQuery函数：
$("title").html('your title');
