Virtuemart get product_id
Hi there,
I need to access the product_id of each product that is listed in the following Virtuemart store page:
http://lovemyself.com.au/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=61
Each item is created by the the file at:
\components\com_virtuemart
But I cannot find anywhere in the entire site source code that lets me access the product_id variable for each product.
I can see that in browse2.php there are various variables used, such as $product_name, $product_s_desc, $product_flypage etc, but $product_id does not work. The $product_flypage is the variable that builds the link for the product detail page - so I know the ID is within that $product_flypage variable, but I need it isolated.
I can access the ID from the URL after I view the product detail page by using a GET command. For example - http://lovemyself.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=48&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&&Itemid=63 (the product_id is 6). But that method obvioulsy doesn't work back on the browse page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Worked it out by using the following code. I'm sure there's a simpler way to do it with PHP but this worked so I'll run with that!
<? $var1 = explode("&", $product_flypage); $var2 = explode("=", $var1[2]); echo $var2[1]; ?>

Obviously I can't use the GET command, as this is a hyperlink within the body of the site. Is there a PHP method to trim the link so that I'm left with the ID? For example, it returns everything after "product_id=" and everything before the next ampersand "&" ?
