get post's categories as simple text

Something like <?php the_category(',') ?> should work.

yes that works great for generating links, but I need it as a simple text… ??

Thank’s!

<?php $my_cats = get_categories(',');
echo $my_cats;?>

it’s just displaying the word “array” :-<

My bad. Try:

<?php $my_cats = get_categories();
$num = count($my_cats);
$c = 0;
foreach( $my_cats as $my_cat ) {
	$c++;
	echo $my_cat;
	if( $c < $num ) echo ', ';
}?>

Warning: Off the top of my head so untested.

Wow that’s a complicated one… but it’s saying:
“catchable fatal error: object of class stdClass could not be converted to string”
???!!!!!???? ??

it’s kind of weird that wordpress gives so much amazing complicated
stuff in a simple code structure but some of the simplest things
don’t have any short code at all…

I missed the closing ?> at the end initially. Have you added that?

ya sure ??

Aha! Wrong function! Your mention of wp_list_categories threw me.

<?php $my_cats = get_the_category();
$num = count($my_cats);
$c = 0;
foreach( $my_cats as $my_cat ) {
	$c++;
	echo $my_cat->category_nicename;
	if( $c < $num ) echo ', ';
}?>

And I’ve tested this one. ??

I think it works, but maybe doesn’t work well with the hebrew language…
because it’s generating some “7%91%d7%a4%d7%aa%d7%97-%d7%aa%d7%a7%d7%9…”
gibberish…

Hmmm… that looks like an encoding problem. Try using cat_name instead of category_nicename.

Yaaaa!!! right!!!! that works great!!! Thank you very much esmi!
