replace CATEGORY ID HERE!!!!!!

with (for the category name)
<?=$category[1];?>

with (for the category ID)
<?=$category[0];?>

that should be it?

:confused: @ funkel

To do what you're wanting thicknthin, you need to execute the php before where you want the "category id" to be shown. I don't have time to sort it out for you, and it does look like alot of code to mess about with to do something that should be so simple. Maybe someone who's got time will sort it for you :)

looking at the code, <?=$id?> should give you the category id
