Category Name Magento

Hello all,

I am writing here the code for getting category information of the known category id.

<?php 

	$catagory_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
	$categories = $catagory_model->load($id); // where $id will be the known category id
	if(!empty($categories))
	{
	    echo 'category name->'.$categories->getName(); //get category name
	    echo 'category image url->'.$categories->getImageUrl(); //get category image url
	    echo 'category url path->'.$categories->getUrlPath(); //get category url path

	}
?>

Hope this is helpful

     @Dipannita –
     Suppose name of the category is ‘Magento’ (excluding quotes).
     So for getting category id you need to use this code

     //get category model
     $category_model =
     Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->loadByAttribute('name','Magento');
     echo 'Category ID -> '.$category_model->getId(); //get category id
     

     For sub categories refer this post of mine – http://blog.decryptweb.com/child-categories-magento/
     Hope this helps you.
