I don't think you have to escape the < and > characters, do you? Also,
what's the 'm' modifier for? (I know what it does, why are you using it
here?)
Also, if there's ever a case where could have
<title>
My Title
</title>
i.e. things spread over multiple lines, then you'll need:
preg_match('#<title>(.*)</title>#is',$text,$matches);
or, even better (ungreedy)
preg_match('#<title>([^<]+)</title>#i',$text,$matches);
The 's' modifier will allow you to match the title even though it's over
multiple lines with the first regex example. It's not needed in the second.
