How to add View arguments in view header?

Because the header uses the default Drupal PHP interpreter, Views variables aren't available there like they are in the arg php code. You can get them by doing

global $current_view;
print $current_view->args[0];

How is this accomplished in drupal 6 with views 2?

If have dumped the view object to see where to grab the arguments, but it seems like the arguments-value is not populated:

view Object ( 
  [db_table] => views_view 
  [base_table] => node 
  [built] => 1 
  [executed] => 1 
  [args] => Array ()

I think $current_view->arg[n] should lead to the arguments. If so, this might be a bug and we should open a seperate issue.
I will investigate further and report here if I find anything.
Anyone?

btw: For the time being I will grab the arguments from the URL using drupal arg() function.

This will work:

  $view = views_get_current_view();
  // [0] is first arg, [1] is second etc.
  $new_var = $view-> args[0];
  echo $new_var;

Works really well. :)

But, how do we capitalize the first letter of the results?

Should it be possible to do the following in a view header?

//retrieve current view and set items per page
$view = views_get_current_view();
$view->set_display('default');
$view->display_handler->set_option('items_per_page', 10);

I know that kind of thing works when embedding a view, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
If that isn't possible, how could I allow a user to choose the items per page without using a different display or embedding the view into another page?
I COULD embed the view but then paths and arguments become a lot more complicated to use properly.

echo ucwords($view->arg[0]);

mh i think $view should be editable see

<?php
    $view = &$this->view;
    $argument = &$this->argument;
    ob_start();
    $result = eval($this->argument->options[$this->option_name]);
?>

I just tried using that instead and it didn't output anything.

Where do you type the php code? I cannot type php into the header, it is formated html

Thanks

#8 works great in d6, saved my day :-)

#8 worked, but for PHP noobs here's a snippet on how to add html to the result - I am using this to show the letter we're browsing by in a view, which is a views attachment

<?php
  
  $view = views_get_current_view();
  // [0] is first arg, [1] is second etc.
  $new_var = $view-> args[0];
  echo "<span style=\"text-align:center;\"><h1>Browsing Articles that begin with <span style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">\"$new_var\"</span></h1></span>";
?>

In the header of a view, is it possible to get the fields from an entity reference passed as an argument ? And if so, does someone know what php code should I write ?

In my case, the argument (or contextual filter) of the view is a taxonomy term. So I would like to get the description (or body) field of this taxonomy term in the views header.

#8 worked, Worked for me.
Thanks clivesj

Try
<?php print_r ($view->args); ?>
