get current product attribute

[ty_thompson1]

Can someone tell me how I can get the current product attribute so I can save it to a variable to use anywhere in my website?

If you are saying you have the Product Object Loaded in any variable say $product, then you can get it like - 

The attribute code is custom_attribute

$product->getCustomAttribute();

Or

$product->getData('custom_attribute');

How could I pull in the Product Object so that I could use $product->getData('custom_attribute');
