[wp-hackers] Obtaining category id from new permalinks system

[Rob Schumann]

Hi,

I need to be able to obtain the id of the requested category
when permalinks are enabled.

The method used under WP1.5.* no longer works and I cannot
find any hint as to where to look for the information under
2.0.

So, any pointers as to where this, and other information
transmitted via permalinks would be very gratefully
received...

Best regards

Rob
