Drupal 7: calling custom content type field into page tpl

I'm working on a Drupal 7 website. I need custom layout for some pages. so I created page--customContentTypeName.tpl.php file and it addresses perfectly.

The problem is, I need to display some fields in page tpl. The code below works fine in node tpl, but page tpl :/ 

<?php print $content['field_images']['#items']['0']['filename']; ?>" />

How can I call custom fields into page tpl?

Appreciate helps!! thanks a lot!!

there are 2 useful modules in drupal for theme developers: Devel and Theme_developer Devel module provides a function called dsm() . using dsm you can recognize that how elements are stored in different objects. like nodes or ... for example you can use this statement : dsm($node) the structure of any nodes in the page will show up in the message box. you can type the statements in your codes.

The structure changed in 7, the field is keyed by language first ("und" by default which means "undefined"), then you can follow this example:

// Array of Image values
$images = $node->field_images['und'];

//If you don't know the language, the value is stored in:
$node->language


// First image
$image = $images[0];



// If you need informations about the file itself (e.g. image resolution):
image_get_info( $image["filename"] );


// If you want to access the image, use the URI instead of the filename !
$public_filename = file_create_url( $image["uri"] );


// Either output the IMG tag directly,
$html = '<img src="'.$public_filename.'"/>';

// either use the built-in theme function.
$html = theme(
    "image",
    array(
        "path" => $public_filename,
        "title" => $image["title"]
    )
);

Note the usage of the uri instead of the filename for embedding the image in a page because the File API in Drupal 7 is more abstracted (to make it easier to integrate with CDN services).

For page.tpl.php if you access the node directly you can use $node variable 

$node['field_images']['und'][0]['filename']

else use $page variable.

$page['content']['system_main']['nodes'][1]['field_images']['#items'][0]['filename'];

but remember in a page variable you might have more than one node.
