i would read in the entire file, and use a 'regular expression' such as
ereg() http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.ereg.php explained on
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dario19990616.php3

or preg_match http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.preg-match.php

I think this may work, with the $string from your code:
$pattern="/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i";
preg_match($pattern, $string, $matches);
$title=$matches[1];
echo $title;
