Get page level in parent/child tree?

[FuturShoc]

Can someone suggest a way to get the *level* of a page in the hierarchy?

I need to do something different on a page template, IF the page exists at the third level of the page hierarchy.

I was hoping for some kind of $page->level() method I could call, but that doesn't seem to exist.

How about:

$level = count($page->parents);

Aha! That seems to give us what we need. Thanks, Ryan.

Off the cuff, I wouldn't have expected that to work since I see "parents" as however many siblings exist above the current level.

But, clearly, the parent/child model doesn't work *quite* like genetics. ;-)

A page does not need to have two parents of the same generation like we do. In the case of ProcessWire, all pages are female.

Yeah and you can make them look the way you want. Of course for the female users, they're all male.

Is anyone else noticing something wrong with these two statements?

My wife does.
