How to get module's title in Joomla 2.5?

Inside my module (from within php code), say mod_mymodule, how can I retrieve my module's title, in case an administrator has changed it from the module management page?

Is it possible to retrieve the "Status" and "Position" the same way as the title?

Try the below code.

<?php
  if ($module->showtitle) 
  {
    echo '<h2>' .$module->title .'</h2>';
  }
?>

You can access the following things.

stdClass Object
(
    [id] => 18
    [title] => Login Form
    [module] => mod_login
    [position] => left
    [content] => 
    [showtitle] => 1
    [control] => 
    [params] => greeting=1
                name=0
    [user] => 0
    [name] => login
    [style] => 
)

You can use jimport to get the module.

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule( 'login' ); // Single
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule( 'mainmenu', 'Resources' ); // Multiple

Inside the module, there are two helpful variables available: $module and $params.

You are looking for $module->title.
