    in php I have a category ID; 43

    How do I get the title of category 43? I don’t want a list, I don’t want it to format or output, I don’t want any help from wordpress. Simple function, pass id, get title or array of cat info. How?

    This from WP source code

    function get_cat_name( $cat_id ) {
     $cat_id = (int) $cat_id;
     $category = &get_category( $cat_id );
     return $category->name;
 }

    not sure whether “name” is the cat title or cat slug
