Pull a story's title by its id

Let's say I have a story id (and a topic id too, just in case it's needed).
What's the easiest way to just pull the story's title from the database into a PHP parameter?

Thanks!

Text Formatted Code
$title = stripslashes (DB_getItem ($_TABLES['stories'], 'title', "sid = '$your_story_id'"));
 

Of course that doesn't check for any permissions ...

bye, Dirk

Thanks!

About the permissions, my script assumes you're already inside the topic (if either topicoption_off is active or (unlike topicoption_off) or if you're inside the topic's page X. It detects it from $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']).

Now what if I don't have the article id, but I have the topic id and I know there's only 1 story per page.
Is there an easy way to know the titles of the story in the topic's page 1, the story in the topic's page 2, etc.?

Also, is there a way to know the overall stories in a topic (so I can run an automatic "for" loop that finds all of its stories' titles)?

May I suggest spending some time with the database (specifically, the gl_stories and gl_topics tables)? It's not that hard to figure out ... Also, article.php and lib-common.php provide a lot of sample code.

bye, Dirk
