get page title in wordpress code example

Example 1: wordpress echo the page title

<?php echo get_the_title(post->$ID); ?>

Example 2: wordpress get site title

You are not outputting anything to show. You are only assigning blog name to a variable. You need to echo the content. It should be :

<h1><?php echo get_bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></h1>
Hope this helps :)
