PHP variables

[scottfmorgan]

Is there a list of PHP variables that are available to us?

I'm trying to highlight certain items in a list according to what category the user is currently in. I would prefer to do something like:
<LI class="<?php if ({CATEGORY-SID}==77) echo "selected"; ?>">

{CATEGORY-SID} would hopefully be replaced with a PHP variable that represents the current category SID.

Thanks![/code]

Hello,

[scottfmorgan]

I have looked through both of these resouces, and I'm trying to write code for my product template. I would like to use PHP to reference a different CSS class according to what category (Category-SID) the current product is in. I don't believe that I can use a QuickCode Tag in a PHP call so I was hoping there was a PHP variable that would expose the current Category-SID for a page. The Developer's guide seemed to list variables focused on checkout. Here is a snippet that I was hoping to get working:

<LI class="<?php if ({CATEGORY-SID}==77) echo "selected"; ?>">

so if this product was in category sid of 77 the resulting HTML would look like:
<LI class="selected">

otherwise it would be:
<LI class="">

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,
It looks like the variable you're looking for is: $cat_arr['id']

Example: <LI class="<?php if ($cat_arr['id']==77) echo "selected"; ?>">

The QuickCode Tag Glossary definition for the {CATEGORY-SID} QuickCode Tag has also been updated with this information at: http://www.modularmerchant.com/quickcode_details.php?qcid=108

I hope this info helps point you in the right direction!
