The answer has got something to do with this bit–

if ( $page->post_parent != $page->ID)
$page_tree[$page->post_parent][‘children’][] = $page->ID;

dull gray brain porridge is starting to ooze out of my left ear.

Well, it’s exciting, isn’t it.

I had no idea so much was going on.

now that I figured out how to use get_object_vars….

the world is mine.

The answer:

<?php
$kids = get_pages(“child_of=$id”);?>
foreach ($kids as $post) {
$kinder = get_object_vars($post);
$kinder = $kinder[ID];
} ?>

Thanks.

so i know what i’m looking for:

What part of the query crates the post-slug, custom metatags excerpt fields?

it did work.

yes, yes it did.

i didn’t really understand php syntax– i was putting string variables inside single quotes.

Yep.

It worked.

btw.

to post on a file other than index.php
put this in whatever.php

define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

duh.

display:block

yea.

read it.

doesn’t solve my problem, sadly.

Thanks a LOT for looking at this. I’m on day two of quitting smoking. you may save a life.

This is for a single post page. (single.php)

The categories i’m concerned with are structured like this:

News
Region (ie: n america, s america, middle east etc)
Country

So, let’s say I have a story from Bahrain.

That would be News > Middle East > Bahrain.

What i’d like to do is at the same time show the titles five most recent posts from Bahrain in an unordered list.

I’m using lots of fiddly custom metatags on my page, which makes it hard to do one loop for the single post and then another for the 5 previous posts.

I’m stumped.
