get posts is not working properly

    I am using the get_posts function to return a number of post in a specific category. I simply cut and paste the example from the codex into my webpage and changes the number of posts and the post category. It returns posts but does not return ALL of the posts. It only wants to return 6 posts. When i try to use numberposts and set it to like 1 or 2 it will ignore that as well and still return 6 posts. Not sure what is wrong. I have about 20 posts in this category so it should be returning all of them if i put numberposts to 20. Any suggestions?

    Since this forum completely sucks i was forced to circumvent my problem. This will be my last post here since I rarely get actual help here. Here’s some code if anyone else runs into the problem.

    public static function get_cat_posts($cat_id, $number_posts){
		global $wpdb;
		$querystring = "SELECT * FROM lp_posts "
		."WHERE ID IN (SELECT * FROM (SELECT object_id FROM lp_term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id = ".$cat_id." ORDER BY object_id DESC LIMIT " . $number_posts . ")";
		$querystring .= " alias)"
		."AND post_status = 'publish' "
		."ORDER BY ID DESC";
		$results = $wpdb->get_results($querystring, OBJECT);
		if(!empty($results)):
			return $results;
		else:
			return false;
		endif;
	}//EOF
