getting title of page using simple html dom?

I'm trying to get the title from an external site using simple html dom (the title of page between the TITLE tags) but it's not retrieving anything. Any ideas?

$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load('http://www.google.com');
$titleraw = $html->find('title');
$title = $titleraw->title;

Use this 

$html = new simple_html_dom();  
$html->load('http://www.google.com');
$titleraw = $html->find('title');
foreach($html->find('title') as $link_element) {        
    echo $link_element->plaintext;
}

instead of $title = $titleraw->title;

Simply

$mypage=file_get_html('http://myurl.com');
$title=$mypage->find('title',0);
echo $title->plaintext;

try this

$html = new simple_html_dom()
$data = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Find all images
foreach($html->find('title') as $element)
       echo $element->plaitext . '<br>';

Try

include_once 'simple_html_dom.php';
$oHtml = str_get_html($url);
$Title = array_shift($oHtml->find('title'))->innertext;
$Description = array_shift($oHtml->find("meta[name='description']"))->content;
$keywords = array_shift($oHtml->find("meta[name='keywords']"))->content;
echo $title;
echo $Description;
echo $keywords;

$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file('http://www.google.com'); 
$titleraw = $html->find('title',0);
$title = $titleraw->innertext;

$html->load_file() Loads contents from a from a file or a URL.

$html->find('title') will return an array

and $titleraw->innertext returns content of title element

Using DOM and xpath you can do:

function getTitle($url) {
   libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
   $doc = new DOMDocument();
   $doc->loadHTMLFile($url);
   $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
   $nlist = $xpath->query("//head/title");
   return $nlist->item(0)->nodeValue;
}
echo "Title: " . getTitle("http://www.google.com") . "\n";

if(
  preg_match(
    '~<title>(.*)</title>~si',
    file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'),
    $result
  );
  var_dump($result[1]);
}else{ /* no result */ }

Else 

$titleraw = $html->xpath('//title');

->load() expects a string containing HTML, not a URL.

Try:

$html = file_get_html('http://google.com');

instead.

Beyond that, note that google's ToS forbid screen scrapers, so hopefully you're just using that url as a fill-in example rather than whatever you're really trying to scrape.
