 * I’m using the [random image plugin](http://justinsomnia.org/2005/09/random-image-plugin-for-wordpress/).
   But now I want to show random images from the category where one entry is in (
   I’m using this in single.php).
 *     ```
       <?php randomimage(show_post_title,
                         number_of_images,
                         image_attributes,
                         show_alt_caption,
                         image_src_regex,
                         post_type,
                         inter_post_html,
                         category_filter,
                         sort_images_randomly,
                         image_class_match,
                         image_template_html); ?>
       ```
   
 * Now I’m using this:
 *     ```
       <?php randomimage(true, 4, "width='88'", false, "(.gif)", posts, "", "<?php the_category_ID(); ?>", true, "", ""); ?>
       ```
   
 * But that won’t do the trick. So, how can I do this?

 * I played around with the php code and it works now:
 *     ```
       <?php $catid = the_category_ID(); randomimage(true, 4, "width='88'", false, "(.gif)", posts, "", "$catid", true, "", ""); ?>
       ```
