Get current post ID and exclude

    I have the following in my single.php file:

    query_posts(array('showposts'=> 4,'cat' => 5,'post__not_in' => array('current-post-id-here')));

    but what I’m wanting to do is to get the current post’s ID and then have that entered into where I’ve added “current-post-id-here” in the above code. After that I am listing the latest 4 posts underneath the main post content.

    I’d really appreciate any help with this.

    normally (if there is no disturbance of the query before this) you can get the current post ID:

    query_posts(array('showposts'=> 4,'cat' => 5,'post__not_in' => array($post->ID)));

    if this is in a function, add global $post; before your line.

    Thanks so much for this – that’s spot on and works a treat!
