if i have the following tree

home
news
 `article1
    `subpage
 `article2

i want to know the ancestor page from any subpage. So if i am on “subpage” i want to know that the ancestor (on level 1) is “news” page.

here is my code, which seems to work except the recursion does not recur…. any ideas what is wrong?

function getRootPageTitle( $page ){	
	if( $page->level() <= '1' ){ 
		return $page->title;
	}else {
		getRootPageTitle( $page->parent() );
	}
}
echo getRootPageTitle( $this );

Ah forgot to return a value from the recurred function:

function getRootPageTitle( $page ){	
	if( $page->level() <= '1' ){ 
		return $page->title;
	}else {
		return getRootPageTitle( $page->parent() );
	}
}
echo getRootPageTitle( $this );
