How do I get categories for a product in Magento

Question

I\'m trying to add product_type to my Magento Google Base output based on the product\'s categories, but I seem to be unable to. I have the following code:

// Ge         


        

Answer 1

This is utterly not tested..

//load the product 

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);

//load the categories of this product 

$categoryCollection = $product->getCategoryCollection();

You can then loop through $categoryCollection like through an array.
