i have a website structure as follow

```
<div id="title">
<h1> //call $title here after executing loop </h1>
</div>
<?php 
   ...
     while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $title = $row['title']; ?>

<h2> this is the <?php echo $title;?> </h2>
<?php } ?>

```

is there a way i could still use or call the `$title` variable on an html element on top of the while loop statement?

whenever i call it above the while loop i get errors like `Undefined variable: id..`

edit: change id into 'title' instead
