I have this small piece of code
<?php
$category = get_the_category(); ?>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=$category[0]->cat_ID&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?> <?php the_title(); ?>
but my problem lies with this part
cat=$category[0]->cat_ID&showposts=1
. I am complete noobie in PHP and i am confused how to use a variable along with others as arguments.
