Calling the widget id of a mult-instance widget from inside the widget?

by

I’m trying to output a unique widget ID inside my mult-instance widgets. So far the following hasn’t worked. Is there a unique ID and how do I call it?

Thanks.

function widget($args, $instance) {
// outputs the content of the widget
    extract( $args );
    $widget_id = $instance['widget_id'];    
?>
<?php echo $widget_id ; ?>
<?php
}

Thanks.

You can get the instance ID with echo $this->id; ($this is the class instance)

The only time you can’t get this id is from the form() function, right after you just dropped the widget (here’s the reason why)
