   I'm trying to get the category ID # to use in a switch statement.
   I've searched and have found a few things but can't get them to work.
   Basicly what I'm testing is this

   $category_id = get_cat_ID();
   echo "$category_id";

   Also do the permalinks effect this?

   Any pointers would be appreciated, Thanks

   is this in a category archive page?

   then try:
   

   $category_id = get_query_var('cat');

   if you are not clear with wordpress functions, look-up the codex:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_cat_ID

   Thanks, that worked

   I had look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_cat_ID
   but couldn't get those examples to work.

   Thanks again
