Unsure about conditional query

    I am trying to get the category ID printed into an area of my category.php file.

    I don’t really know what I am doing so I have pieced together this from the codex, so far…

    <?php if( is_category(32) || is_category(35)) { ?>
<!-- this actually prints the category onto my page, score, now i need it into the get_posts -->
    <?php
foreach((get_posts()) as $category) {
    echo $category->cat_ID . ' ';
}
?>

 <ul>
 	<?php
 	global $post;
 	$myposts = get_posts('category=32');
 	foreach($myposts as $post) :
 	?>
  		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

	<?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>  	

<?php } ?>

    I would like this statement to be able to get the category ID and put it in the get_posts argument. Where do I go from here?

    Ok the fact that one one helped me here was a little disappointing.

    I finally got some help elsewhere. 

    <?php if( is_category(32) || is_category(33) || is_category(35) || is_category(34) || is_category(28) || is_category(29) || is_category(32) || is_category(30) || is_category(31) || is_category(36) || is_category(37) || is_category(38) || is_category(39)) { ?>

<?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { 

$theCategory = $category->cat_ID . '';

}
?>
<ul>
 	<?php
 	global $post;
 	$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=1000&order=ASC&orderby=post_title&category=' . $theCategory);
 	foreach($myposts as $post) :
 	?>
  		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>/" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

	<?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>  

<?php } ?>
