   Is there anyway that i can get the category where the post is posted automatically?

   I now of a code that can get a category but i must give the category of where it will get posts.

   <?php
   
   		$the_query = new WP_Query('category_name='. XXXXX . '&' . 'showposts='. XXX);
   
   		while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
   ?>

   I plan to put it in my single.php file, so i need it to automatically get the category of where the post is posted and show the other post on the category.

   ok thanks for the reply, but will this code get the category of where my post is posted?

   <?php
   global $post;
   $categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
   var_dump($categories);
   ?>

   And how should i get the other post in the category?
