<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>" >
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>">
Access to Joomla Framework
$app = JFactory::getApplication(); OR 
require_once (‘includes/../framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
No change but needs to look like this:
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
Retreive HTML headers from Joomla
<jdoc:include type="head" />
No change
Retreive the Sitename
$mainframe->getCfg('sitename');
$app->get('sitename');

$this->error->code
$this->error->getCode();
Retrieve Error Messages
$this->error->message
$this->error->getMessage();
Retrieve System Messages
$this->getBuffer('message')
<jdoc:include type="message" />
Active Language
$this->language;
$doc->language;
View
JRequest::getVar( 'view' )
$app->input->getCmd('view');
Task
JRequest::getVar( 'task' )
$app->input->getCmd('task');
Layout
JRequest::getVar( 'layout' )
$app->input->getString('layout', 'default');
ID
JRequest::getVar( 'id' )
With alias:
$app->input->getString('id');
Only ID:
$app->input->getInt('id');
Homepage detection

<?php $menu = $app->getMenu();

echo $this->baseurl; 
JURI::root()*;

However, use of "$this->" is equivalent.
