Drupal - displaying the title of the node within a block

Question

I'm needing to dynamically display the title of a node within a block. I would have thought this would be simple, but all the code snippets I've tried don't seem to work (e.g. <?php print $node->title; ?> )

I've checked and tested that the PHP input format is on and working with other PHP bits and bobs, and everything seems OK.

Any ideas?

Are you wanting to render the page title in a block, thus having the page title display once? Or to have the normal page title display, as well as having the page title outputted a second time on the page? — picxelplay, Jun 05 '12 at 12:04

Use drupal_get_title() for getting the title of the current page.

drupal_get_title() doesn't work when _cache block_ is enabled under performance settings. Any other solution? – kiranking Nov 17 '14 at 10:48
`drupal_get_title()` is working with *cache block* when the appropriate cache setting for the block is set to *Do not cache* – eapo Apr 18 '16 at 21:32

I thik this link might be of help:

http://www.g-loaded.eu/2009/05/07/drupal-tip-list-a-nodes-taxonomy-terms-inside-a-block/

Based on it:

if ( arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) ) {
    $node = node_load(arg(1));
    echo $node->title
}

drupal.api already has function for it: $node = menu_get_object(); print $node->title; – Nikit Mar 19 '10 at 00:21

There is also the option to use the Views module for this.
