Programatically work out if area has layout?

Developing with Concrete
#1

Hi
I need to find a way programatically to tell if an area has Layout. For example I can get the area blocks like this:

``$blocks = $area->getAreaBlocksArray($page);`

But I also need to work out if the area has layout set on it too?

Thanks
Dave

Behind the scenes, layout is a block, so you can loop through the blocks and check the block type handle.

You could also build a SQL query to do the same directly on the database, but that would only be worthwhile if you wanted to build a list of pages/areas/layouts.

Thanks John, you are of course correct, my issue seems to be something else.
