help to get an Object in PHP script

Sathish, what do you mean by the 'current object'? At this point you cannot embed PHP within eZ publish templates directly. Are you trying to develop an extension? More detail will help us provide some answers.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are tryign to do... Is your goal to get the data stored in an object's attributes, add those to a URL which is sent to a non-Ez publish script? If so, you should be able to do that using the <i>concat</i> functionality and the individual attributes of the object. To see all of the available attributes for an object try using <i>{$node|attribute(show)}</i> or <i>{$:item|attribute(show)}</i>. This should list out every bit of adata assigned to that object, including (I believe) language.

An example would be:

concat("http://www.SITE.com/SCRIPT.php?bookname=",$node.data_map.bookname,"&entered=",$node.data_map.entered)

Please note, this code would need tweaking as I did this off the top of my head.

Does this help, or am I walking down the wrong path?

Hi Alex,

Please go through http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/help_to_get_an_object_in_php_script . Björn suggested that we can get the attributes using the PHP script. I have tried that. But getting the object id is the problem. :( I am trying to get the object id.

Thanks & regards,

Hi ALex,

I typed the following code inside the PHP page,

<?php

include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezhttptool.php' );
include_once( "lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php" );
include_once("kernel/classes/ezcontentobject.php");

$co = & eZContentObject::fetch($objectid);
$datamap = & $co->atrribute('data_map');
$sometext = $datamap['resource_language']->content(); //resource_language is an attribute
echo $sometext;

?>

Thanks & Regards,
Sathish
