/in , , /by

Today I will show you how you can fetch magento categories and its subcategories. Use below code

 

<?php 
$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
$_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories();
if (count($_categories) > 0){
    foreach($_categories as $_category){
        $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
        $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories();
        if (count($_subcategories) > 0){
            echo $_category->getName();
            echo $_category->getId();  
            echo $_category->getUrl();    
            foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory){
                 echo $_subcategory->getName();
                 echo $_subcategory->getId();
                 echo $_subcategory->getUrl();
            }
        }
    }
}
?>

To show only one category where 2 is your main category id

<?php 
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(2);
$subcategories = $category->getChildrenCategories();
if (count($subcategories) > 0){
    echo $category->getName();
    foreach($subcategories as $subcategory){
         echo $subcategory->getName();
    }
}
?>
