 * I searched and found “Snippet 2” on this page:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)
   I’ve added that function to my functions.php, but when I add several variations
   of
 * > <?php is_subpage(); echo $parentID; ?>
 *  to my page.php, nothing is returned. I’m sure I’m just not using the correct
   syntax. I know this is a child page and I’m trying to return the parent page 
   ID. I can’t find any more info on this unless I’ve just blatantly overlooked 
   it. Thanks.

 * I guess more toward the end result; I’d like to also be able to return the permalink
   of the parent page.

 * After more diligent searching I found my answer.
    Sorry for the false alarm.
