Accessing Attributes (basic question)

[Al66]

I want to be able to directly access the attribute data for a specific product within the code. Can any one provide examples of code?

 

What I'm trying to do:

- We sell a product.

- one of the attributes defines a cost which varies depending on quantity.

- as it stands the customer chooses the attribute him/herself.

- trouble is they can (and do) choose the wrong option.

- I want to use the product quantity to automatically set this attribute

 

I'm guessing this is just a case of someone telling me what file(s) to REQUIRE and a line of code that I can copy and paste and muck around with.

 

Thanks

I'll copy this across to general post haste
