Get Parent Category Name [closed]

Question

I have category pages and within those are sub-category pages. Those sub-category pages have a sidebar displaying the filterable options within that subcategory. I want to echo out the name of the parent category at the top of that sidebar. I'll need to do this for each parent category.

Answer 1

Try below

$allCategoryIds = ALL_YOUR_CATEGORIES_AS_ARRAY;
foreach($allCategoryIds as $categoryId){
    $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);    
    echo $categoryName = $_category->getName()."<br />";  
}
