Send post title in shortcode :

[myshortcode title='Web pages']

// shortcode

function shortcode_myshortcode($atts) {

$atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'title' => 'no foo',            
        ), $atts);

return  $atts['title'];

}
add_shortcode('myshortcode', 'shortcode_myshortcode');

Not sure that I understand your question, but to get the title of the current post use get_the_title(). You can use it within the shortcode function or when prepering the call for the custom php script you made.
