获取Joomla父类别ID

Question

I got the article ID and category ID but couldn't get the parent category ID.

How do I proceed?

Article ID:

<?php $id = (int)JRequest::getVar('id'); echo $id; ?> 

Category ID:

<?php $catid = JRequest::getInt('catid'); echo $catid; ?>

I want to find out the parent-Category ID.

If you looking for parent category id of a category then you can try this -

$category = JTable::getInstance('category');
$category->load($catid);
echo $category->parent_id;
