   Hello crowd!

   I am totally new to using WordPress, not a PHP newb, though.

   The challenge:

   A friend has asked me to include WordPress as a means of adding/updating certain content into his own project.

   What I would like to do now is just fetch pure DB data from some WP interface, ideally just a plain PHP array of object, and work with it however the existening application prefers.

   Example:
   I just include a couple of WP files and fetch an array with all the data I need, bypassing the entire template functionality WP offers.

   What is basically needed, are a couple of blog categories, maybe a bit of archiving, and a means of displaying individual entries on a single page.

   Are there more appropriate ways than just getting them myself from the database? I don't want to miss out on the RSS / archiving etc. features.

   Thx for any help!

   Actually, (based on your post) you need: archives, index, single post view, rss...
   That sounds like a full WP install :)

   But anyway, you can use the Loop for posts and all the template tags.
