How to get the category name of a post

  • Hi,

    I have a post id. How can I get the names of the categories that the post belongs to? Don’t mind using a technical approach, but I can’t see where the category names are in the database to get them.

    Thanks,

    Jim.

  • This needs to be inside the loop:

    <?php the_category([any separators should be included here, like ' ' or ' &amp; ']); ?>

    Hi,

    That wasn’t exactly what I was after, but it put me on the right track ??

    $categories = get_the_category($postID);

    Thanks for your help.
