How can I check Product Type Logic?

I just need a simple logic check to what the current page's product type is.

e.g.

If (product_type == 2) {
echo "Product Type = Product - Music";
}

What is the variable or constant for product types?

Re: How can I check Product Type Logic?

in the products table, there is a field products_type, which is a numeric ID you can use to lookup the product-type name in the product_types table

or ... more easily ... zen_get_info_page($product_id) will tell you the page-handler name for the product's type, ie: product_info, product_music_info, etc

Hmm..

$x = (zen_get_info_page(GET_$product_id));
echo $x;

Always shows product_info .. even when im on a product_info_music page and a product_info_freeshipping page

I'm calling this from the product info page itself.

Try this:

$x = (zen_get_info_page((int)$_GET['products_id']));
