Can a Joomla module “know” what position it's in?

Question

I\'m fairly new to Joomla (I\'ve been more of a Wordpress guy) and I have a question about module positions.

Can a module know what position it\'s in. For instance

Answer 1

I found the answer! Mostly thanks to @Hanny. His idea of using the modules id got me googling for that and I came across the answer. For anyone else that happens to be looking to do something similar here it is.

You use a global variable $module (who'd a thought, right?)

So my code now looks like this:

$class = '';
if($module->position == 'position1'){
     $class = 'class1';
}
and so on...

Pretty simple, huh?

To find out what else you can do with the global variable $module just put this in your code and see what info you can use:

echo(print_r($module));

Thanks for all your help!
