Getting the taxonomy parent term as Views argument

Question

I am trying to get a taxonomy parent name with this code; when I put 1 as the argument, I keep getting the ID, but when I try using 2, I get a error. It should wor,k but it keeps throwing the error back at me. I am trying to get the parent name, not the ID.

$view = views_get_current_view();
print $arg0 = $view->args[2];

Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in __lambda_func() (line 3 of /home/loansdotorg/public_html/modules/views_php/plugins/views/views_php_handler_area.inc(39) : runtime-created function).

Answer 1

I believe that Views uses $view->args to store the arguments it has received from the url, or passed to it when embedded.

So in the above case, you would need a url structure where the parent term is located in the views url after the actual term. Most likely this is not the case.

If you want to get the parent term you can use the function taxonomy_get_parents
