[wp-hackers] Is there no get_post_attachments() function(ality)?

[Mike Schinkel]

Hey Austin, Spencer, Paul and Michael:

Wow, thanks for the rapid response all.  

Clearly I just had a mental block on that one.  I did a regex search across the codebase using "SELECT.*?WHERE.*?post_parent" and nothing came up.  I missed get_children() because it delegates to get_posts() and I don't know why I didn't thing about querying that way. It's so obvious now, doh!

Thanks again.

-Mike
