   I am trying to get the category ID printed into an area of my category.php file.

   I don't really know what I am doing so I have pieced together this from the codex, so far...

   <?php if( is_category(32) || is_category(35)) { ?>
   <!-- this actually prints the category onto my page, score, now i need it into the get_posts -->
       <?php
   foreach((get_posts()) as $category) {
       echo $category->cat_ID . ' ';
   }
   ?>
   
    <ul>
    	<?php
    	global $post;
    	$myposts = get_posts('category=32');
    	foreach($myposts as $post) :
    	?>
     		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
   	<?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>  	
   
   <?php } ?>

   I would like this statement to be able to get the category ID and put it in the get_posts argument. Where do I go from here?

   Ok the fact that one one helped me here was a little disappointing.

   I finally got some help elsewhere.

   <?php if( is_category(32) || is_category(33) || is_category(35) || is_category(34) || is_category(28) || is_category(29) || is_category(32) || is_category(30) || is_category(31) || is_category(36) || is_category(37) || is_category(38) || is_category(39)) { ?>
   
   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { 
   
   $theCategory = $category->cat_ID . '';
   
   }
   ?>
   <ul>
    	<?php
    	global $post;
    	$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=1000&order=ASC&orderby=post_title&category=' . $theCategory);
    	foreach($myposts as $post) :
    	?>
     		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
   	<?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>  
   
   <?php } ?>
