Drupal - How to get taxonomy term name from tid?
If you're using Drupal 7 you can use taxonomy_term_load()
$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);
$name = $term->name;
If you've got a bunch of term IDs you can save having to run a single query for each load by using taxonomy_term_load_multiple()
:
$tids = array(1, 2, 3);
$terms = taxonomy_term_load_multiple($tids);
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$name = $term->name;
}
If you're stuck using Drupal 6 you can use taxonomy_get_term()
:
$term = taxonomy_get_term($tid);
$name = $term->name;
There's no multiple-load option for Drupal 6 that I know of unfortunately.
In Drupal 8, you can get the name of taxonomy terms this way:
$term = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('taxonomy_term')->load($tid);
$name = $term->label();
Or to load multiple:
$terms = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('taxonomy_term')->loadMultiple($tids);
foreach($terms as $term) {
$name = $term->label();
}
The following function returns the name of a taxonomy term based on its tid:
function get_term($tid) {
return db_select('taxonomy_term_data', 't')
->fields('t', array('name'))
->condition('tid', $tid)
->execute()
->fetchField();
}
