How to parse magento object - php

Question

I would like to show some text under specific category. For that I would like to get category id. I printed category array in top.phtml(custom design) as shown below;
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
print_r($_category);
The above print_r gives result as below.How can I parse the below object to get entity_id(here its value is 1013) or name(here it is 'winning looks').

Answer 1

you can get with <?php echo $category->getEntityId()?>
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category):
print_r($_category);
echo $_category->getEntityId()
endforeach;
?>
hope this will work for you.

Answer 2

Try this:
if ($_category->getId() == 1013){ //or $_category->getEntityId();
//your magic code here
}
