Echo the subtitle of a PARENT page within WordPress?

    I’m attempting to fetch the subtitle from the PARENT page and echo the text within a title tag.

    Function: 

    <?php
    $id_to_get = $post->ID;
    if ( $post->post_parent ) {
        $id_to_get = $post->post_parent;
    }
    $parent = $id_to_get;

    $title = get_the_title($parent);
    $subtitle = get_post_meta($id_to_get, '_base_page_subtitle', true);
?>

    HTML Implementation:
    ...title="<?php echo $subtitle; ?>">

    Unfortunately, it is not successfully grabbing the subtitle text. I’m able to populate the title echoing the variable $title, just not with the variable $subtitle.

    The value for the Subtitle option is stored within the table “_base_page_subtitle”; I’m using options framework.

    I know my issue is with the if statement, however, being new to PHP, I’m having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to capture the data and display it properly.

    Thanks again of time!
