Query custom taxonomy based on post ID [closed]

Question

here's what i'm trying to do.

• i have a custom post type (CPT) which has custom taxonomies (web, print, video, custom).
• each custom post has a custom taxonomy associated with it, as well as a featured image.
• i am creating a grid of the featured images (basically a gallery) for each taxonomy.
• i have a page, called design that calls the different taxonomies based on user interaction.
• the hierarchy is ~/design/taxonomy (web, print, video, custom)

i have code that will display the images, but currently only for a specific taxonomy, by using this code

<ul class="feat-imgs">
<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'package_types' => 'web', 'posts_per_page' => 6 ) );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
 echo '<li>';the_post_thumbnail($loop->ID);
 echo '</li>';
endwhile; ?>
</ul>

can anyone help me modify this code to get the custom loop to grab the taxonomy ID in this line

$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'package_types' => 'web', 'posts_per_page' => 6 ) );

instead of having to hardcode the 'package_types' => 'web'??

it might also be worth noting that this code sits inside a standard Loop.

any help is appreciated.

You could use a taxonomy query to check against the taxonomy id instead of the slug.

<?php
$args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
    array(
        'taxonomy' => 'package_type',
        'field' => 'id',
        'terms' => 3
    )
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
