<body>
   <h3 id="title">Title</h3>
   <p> Some content about the title </>
</body>

file2.php

<?PHP

   #read h3 element using id and display

Simplest solution is to load the file ( file_get_contents ) and parse it using the DOM.

PHP Dom Document : http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php

The class has a getElementById method : http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementbyid.php
