Page title inside template?

Question

Is there any way to get my page title via my template, for example a line like this;

get page_title()

within my template, that would extract the title of that page as defined on each page in the dashboard?

Answer 1

Use following one to get page title :

<?php the_title();?>

For POST

$page_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
