Sandbox

Hi there,

I am new to joomla and PHP, but have extensive experience in ASP.net.  I would like to know how to simply output the page name, or the "itemid" to the page, so that I can input it into a flash movie i am using for the menu on my site.

Can any brave soldier assist me with this?

Also, one of the things i did like about .net was the extensive documentation and samples that were packaged with it (.net 2.0 SDK documentation).  The .net documentation, outlines all of the commands you could use in C# as well as examples of usage. Can someone tell me if i can download such a thing for PHP, or access a website that will provide me with this data?

Thanx,

Gavan

Head over to php.net for a reference of the PHP language.

To get the pagename, you do:

Thanx Ian,

Much appreciated

I'm getting an error: "Fatal error: Class 'JFactory' not found in C:\sites\premium6\lomaxgroup\webroot\joomla\templates\lomaxgroup\index.php on line 29"

I assume i have to include and/or install the JFactory Library, How do I do this?

I guess i should have stated that i have 1.0 installed.

Most likely your missing and include
this is at the top of content.php component

defined('_JEXEC') or die();

jimport('joomla.application.component.controller');

Ah your in the wrong forum
